What is art? Does art have to be beautiful? Does it have to be meaningful, and if so to whom? In my artwork I explore these and other issues around semiotics, poetics and visual representation. My work draws on many influences, ranging from the concept drawings of Leonardo da Vinci to the creative explorations of artists like Marcel Duchamp, Claude Monet, John Cage, Andy Warhol, Ray Johnson, Cindy Sherman, and Yoko Ono. My work is also influenced by social, political, and postmodern theoretical discourse from the world at large. For the last several years I have aligned myself closely with Fluxus and Intermedia. I also contribute frequently to the Fluxlist and the Fluxlist Blog.
