Artist statement
City of Exile
As a sign of the current times, people are losing jobs, businesses, homes and a general quality of living at an alarming rate. When bad news comes it’s all too easy to curl up in a ball and accept defeat. Rather, I see it as the perfect time for growth and discovery. In each scene, the individuals are adapting to the changing environment and progressing forward. The images present a tangible hopefulness that is inherent in all grim situations. Like any of the dark periods in our long history, this too will pass.
