Artist Statement

 
As an artist and sculptor working in mixed media, my process involves taking a personal image, transforming it by degrees and putting it in a metaphorical space...What draws me to the recurring theme of "horse"? Something in those ponies of the carousel have always haunted me.

"My horse left its pole upshot, cloud by cloud quick as a bullet in a dream to a trumpet, skyborn-"

-joseph mailander from
Santa Monica Carousel
