About
My work – by definition and design- is about wandering, it’s right in the name (Wrohme is pronounced roam). An unending expedition to explore without a fixed direction. The end product being a byproduct, the path and analysis being the true commodity. Drifting in the streets of emotion, power struggles and real or invented narratives that encompass the human experience, I search to face the uncomfortable with the knowledge that it is where true growth lives. To both acknowledge and challenge dissonance and contradiction while marveling at and embracing aspiration and unyielding optimism.
My chosen tools of exposition are broad, pulling from both analog and digital realms – acrylic, ink, collage, photoshop, found items, photography… whatever gets the job done. The culmination of decades of exposure to non-traditional tactics of communication – from my early exposure to punk music, fanzines and various underground sub-cultures to my later years where the pursuit of approval became irrelevant. I strive to inject sentiment into brush strokes, misgivings into splatter – to capture concept and storytelling into composition. Each one of my pieces has an underlying plot and much like our lives, it may not always be obvious. My gratification comes back to the expression of exploration, the learning that happens through the unknown and the release of putting those observations into the world.
