Artist Statement:Why is it necessary? Communication, perhaps? Does our identity depend on it? Maybe we just need to let others take note of how we think and perceive. Perhaps we just long to provoke and evoke feelings and emotions in one another. However, as artists creating artworks, we still have no control over the way in which art enters and leaves our makes and worldly goods. We are still unable to deny the fact that art does not need to reside in any particular place at any given time.
