The attic work is about trust. Trust in creative intuition enhanced by sight deprivation during the composition phase. (I wore a blind fold to draw.)
Dots
Connect the dots theme is a literal translation: Orbs join on a flat surface to create images by way of foam spheres linked by wire and composition.
Contrast
The sensory experience of composing with perspective is contrasted with the visceral sensation of abstract expression.
Coming
You Know It’s Coming, is an exhibit based on a dream of a car size wagon wheel careening down hill toward an unawares chap whose disheveled oversized figure looks like a bowling pin.
Nexus
Profound time honored parables travel thousands of years to present day, through historical nexus.
Balance
Some artist traverse a figurative tight rope with literal unsure steps as they figure out what to sacrifice and what to keep in the absence of a steady paycheck.
Spiritus
Who are you and what do you want me to do?
I AM, WHO I AM
The rest is up to you
One Moment
“Everyone stands alone at the heart of the world
Pierced by a ray of sunlight
And suddenly it’s evening.”
By Salvatore Quasimodo
IMPEL or IMPALE
A Haiku illustrated journey through demise and resurrection. A teaching tool designed to educate and inspire those who aspire to recover or evolve.
Joy
To gather or pour molten glass into a shape or mold is,
To ladle and tame the earths core.
Malice
“The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.”
By Carl G. Jung
Foundation
My artistic foundation is crafted in the hot and cold shops of glass studios. The industrial hardware, physical labor, and technical skills required to evolve design into product fit well into a working class experience.
