Jeremy say’s "What interests me is the search, this primary force behind why we keep asking questions; the way our psyches can cause calamity and lead us astray, or bloom into an epiphany that might help us evolve.  The symbols that we search out and use in order to guide us to a larger understanding have always been of great importance to me.

In order to translate our mental and spiritual explorations, it seems as though symbols and myth are necessary in man's search for meaning and it is in these symbols, both personal and possibly universal, that I continue to transubstantiate my thoughts into being.  Carl Jung's musings on our need for myth and how the modern world has squelched our ability to wonder past the here and now have spoken to me clearly and found their way into my work.  In using visible symbols to describe invisible worlds, it has become necessary to incorporate not only images, but also the element of writing on the picture plane to further express my ideas and whisper hints from inner realms.  My hope is that my work will be approached with a collaborative spiirit, for the audience to expand this spark, this instance that I have rendered with their own imagination and their own set of symbols.  Take these stories and run with them."
