"What some people see as beautiful may completely escape the attention of others. That's what interests me. I like to take impressions of people and bend them further, utilizing the most beautiful aspects of form and gesture and adding contrasting elements of distortion and abstraction; shifting the commonplace into the strange.
I've always been drawn to bizarre characters. Whether it was watching cartoons and movies or looking at record covers and listening to music. The eccentrics like The Wicked Witch, Dracula, Bowie and the New York Dolls fascinated me the most. It was the drama and exaggerated features that set me off filling school binders and sketchbooks.
Many years later, living and working on Cape Cod, I am still fascinated by what makes people stand out from each other. It is our odd shapes and mannerisms; how we laugh and converse, work and lounge. Rather than conventional beauty, it's the different ways we carry ourselves and how the light falls on our features that sets people apart as forms of interest and sometimes desire." --Rob Westerberg
