Welcome to InfiniteDensity.com!
My name is Jay, and this is the online portfolio and showcase for my artwork. I hope you'll take some time to have a look around. Thanks in advance.
I've been making art for quite some time, but I've been showing since 1998. Painting is unquestionably my favorite, and most comfortable medium. I loosely refer to my works as paintings for sake of brevity and convenience, with the knowledge that they're too sculptural to be classified as such. Technically I believe the terms "wall sculpture" or "assemblage" would be more appropriate. Each of my pieces are first conceived as a composition. Once I'm satisfied with my rough sketches I begin the build. I do make occassional use of found objects, though I do so sparingly.
Regardless of its classification and construction the purpose of my work is always the same. With each new piece I aim to create the most beautiful thing that I can, and express myself entirely with it. I regard art simply as another language, with its own syntax and vocabulary. I use my art as a mode of making statements that are better expressed visually than verbally or with written words. It's fair to say that I use my art as a mode of self-exploration, though it's important to note that I also use it as a mode of self-definition.
