This, That, and the Other |

To be of one physical being while having a number of opinions, feelings, personas, entities. Well-rounded. Seeing it all, even before it happens. To wear a mask, however have you become the mask? Playing a role.

Works on Paper 2014
January-June 2014
Works on Paper represents the transition where the representational figure began to morph into the abstract. This gestation period made way for a new visual language that is still being actualized. Animals adorned in circles are symbolic of the loyal armor-clad horses of the Middle Ages. New materials of acrylic, pencil, and oil pastel were introduced and expressed.

To be honest, this image can go any way. My webmaster added it like this. Logically. If you tilt your head to the left, with the 4 upright, you'll see it in a way I likely intended. Image size is 14" x 12" on 22" x 15" paper with large white border

My mom used to say this to me first thing in the morning.
Isn't it ironic that roosters are synonymous with waking up early, yet many people eat eggs for breakfast? Just a random thought. $100

Animal Crackers 2013-2014
2013-2014
Animal Crackers is the descendant of the Girl and Rabbit series (2001-2009). Much like Leonora Carrington, my work created a figurative lexicon of animal mythology and spiritual folklore, presenting the animal as a seer and teacher to humans if they are attuned to it. Personal experiences such as relationships and my life with scoliosis humanized the animals who seemed to be wearing masks over their human faces. Are we aware of the animal personalities we act out each day?
