Pat lives in Seattle, hails from Spokane, and holds an MS in communications from Virginia Commonwealth University. He began his art practice after 30 years as an advertising creative. Much of his work leans on humor. Poking at technology, commerce, and the divide between urban and rural life. His blue collar upbringing goes hand-in-hand with his preoccupation with DIY. As well as his inclination to reuse items instead of buying brand spanking new every damn time. He chases material adversity. Which is one way of saying he creates with anything. Concrete, cardboard, fur, rope. That thing leaning against the dumpster outside his studio. The idea is to create unease between elements in his compositions. Please tell him if it’s working. His most recent activity depicts objects, images, and figures as alternate versions of themselves through redesign, simple construction, and the use of primary color.
