IN THE ARTIST’S WORDS: "The exhibition focuses on the subject of sustenance on all levels: intellectually, physically and emotionally. The imagery used in the works is inspired by both items of consumption and the physiological characteristics involved in all levels of survival for living organisms. I have found inspiration in learning how different organisms deal with the preservation of their species, and I especially enjoy the many similarities that exist between humans and other animals."
