Artist's Statement:
I believe that our emotional and cultural understanding of each other has not progressed at the same rate as our technological understanding.
I believe that exploring the depth and range of the inner life of humanity, and its consequent actions, generates understanding.
I believe that understanding breeds acceptance.
I believe acceptance is an evolutionary step that desperately needs to occur in order for mankind to catch up with its runaway capability for destruction.
I want to tell the stories of people I have never met, and in most cases, will never meet.
I want to use those stories to deepen my understanding of myself.
I want to move people to think, to laugh, to empathize; to relate.
