Abstracts: Nature's Lure
As I created these new works, I was keenly aware that every mark I made was made by one hand--my hand--and that the finished product would live and breathe as part of a world in which we all are tenants and share. An expression is synonymous with Mother Earth, leading to our departure from the stations of life, searching for new noise and passion, and empowering and encouraging change. In this conception, 'Nature' is not a source of material for production but the beginning and end of all life and culture. My work is centered around the main idea of being nowhere and everywhere, waltzing around cultural boundaries with beliefs and traveling through form and energy, attempting to incorporate conflict, balance, and harmony to shape the work's influences, thoughts, and hope for the same thing and shared moment.
