Charles Simic - The Academy of American Poets: "Green Buddhas
On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth."

Artist Statement for Seattle Public Arts.doc
Architecture has always been in the background of my work in photography and paintings. Whether it’s abstraction or the figurative work, I try to find the structure that underlay a composition or a body. The emphasis on light in architecture made me aware of photography as a tool to capture the expressive light and colors. I am always trying to pursue the elusive feeling and mood of experiences and structure it in a way that evokes an emotion in the viewer.
These paintings in the Temple Series serve as a blueprint for my idea of the temple. I had read two short stories that paralleled each other: ‘The Circular Ruin’ by Jorges Luis Borges and ‘The Circular Valley’ by Paul Bowls. Both are about the abandon place of worship. I like the relationship between the sacred and the profane. Even in ruins, the place still had the power to mesmerize me. I was lucky enough to have visited a few of these places in Poznan, Poland.
The Gates Series commemorate a series of markers along a mythical and metaphoric journey. It is a memory of travels, physical or metaphysical. These Gates are guides, beacon into an imaginary landscape of lush feelings and thoughts.

Outside the Room
somehow
between the street on 5th and main,
the cane tap out a passage
i'd heard long ago
The message is brailled onto
skins of bike messengers.
smoke furls from hollow lungs.
pretty girls hand out liquid detergents
Street prophets hand out pamplets and lotus.
Outside the room, the gasoline burns.
Inside the room, conditioned boredom.
Outside the room, coins drop into hats,
guitar cases, cupped hands.
