 Mirror                                       Beside Myself – Sold

                                           

Tribal and urban archetypes are combined in my paintings to create a conceptual workspace merging dream and nature in a unified artistic sphere with many destinations. These destinations, or dimensional intersections, are starting points for stories that pose questions concerning the junction of dream life and the workday world. Layered totemic symbols drawn from life are used as guides through dreams and reality driving toward a threshold or epiphany fraught with drama, anticipation and apprehension.

 

I envision this body of work as a symbolic narrative. The allegory is told through the systematic application of broad strokes creating a labyrinth of depth with colors that are active and still.   The paintings, as a group and individually, portray a passage or progress from one stage of life to another.
