"Manipulating thrift store lithographs of landscapes by adding painted architecturally driven text, I create work which vacillates between the serious and the ridiculous. Interested in exploring the easy, escapist nature of these 'ready-made' personal blend of screwball surrealism and humor. My text, rendered in monumental letters, runs the gamut from vivid pop cultural descriptions to post-modern observations on art to colloquialisms about the American South."—Wayne White
