About the Artwork
"ECHO GENERATOR"
mixed media, crystals, circuit board radio, fairy lights
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
The loss of a child is catastrophic to a parent—one should not outlive their child. There is no solution as time remains forever skewed….the inverted order of events cannot be reversed. My piece Echo Generator is a futuristic machine that uses optical phenomena, crystals, and radio waves to give the bereaved a glimpse of their loved one for an instant…”

"BAD MITTEN"
Digital Art
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
With the paltry official guidance from TPTB we've been left to figure this pandemic out on our own. Using household items such as kitchen gloves to fend off the “invisible enemy” seems like all one can do to protect ourselves. The Badminton racquet seemed like the perfect device to express feelings of futility in this crisis.

Fashion photograph run through various Prisma filters.
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
Eating. OMG. What an issue it's become. Overeat one day. No appetite the next...”EZ IS Y TRAP” is PARTY SIZE spelled backwards. I've wondered with the mask shortage maybe I'll need to do some creative re-purposing.

About the Artwork
"ELEMENTAL KANJI"
Piece was produced in Photoshop using a variety of filters.
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
Pulling archetypal feelings out of our brain stem...these ancient forces of nature as envisioned by a society from another time and place. I cannot tell you whether they are symbols from the past or future because these elements defy time and space...they exist in all of us on a cellular level.

"LIES"
Piece was produced in Photoshop CS6 with repeating photographs of red and white roses as background and font, respectively.
Blending tools were used to smooth the appearance of the roses.
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
Day in and day out in business and our personal lives we make and are made promises that while beautifully polite are simply pleasantries. When we try and believe in the promise beyond the moment we find it dead much like a cut flower. It was already dead when given to us lovingly.

Life in our universe is so complex and amazing that communicating it about it can make us look like children reading from a whimsical children's book.

About the Artwork
Piece was painted in Acrylic on wood block.
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
My garden of succulents continues to thrive and I am mesmerized by their complex shapes--organic yet intentionally structured.
These little cactus rosettes seem in perfect contrast with the geometic background.
“Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly!”
