Artist's Statement

"There is a scarcity of small moments—those little things, those boring things, the everyday, the mundane. Too many things are important, too many things demand our attention.
​With an emphasis on light, these artworks attempt to bring their viewers into quiet contemplation, navigating the unsteady boundary between self-aware and self-conscious."

-Frank Geiser, 2021
