I have elaborate memories of the circus and carnivals. The olden celebrations of oddities, and the fascination with the extraordinary and unique. The pure joy of rides that haul you to the heights, and those that test your skills and abilities. Watching the artistry of acrobats, and hearing the infectious laughter of a clown. My work draws from remnants of history. Pieces of grand machines; paint collecting on wood for a century. The incredible beauty of the broken, reborn. This show is a celebration of public revelry, of traveling companies of entertainers. A presentation of objects and feelings that arose from the imagination, since the Circus Maximus in Ancient Rome. We all love a show.
