Dark Origins
Territory, Reclaimed
This series of paintings and illustrations depict an indistinct time in the future of man and nature, on Earth. Nature is at odds with the overabundance of man’s creations. Weather patterns have reshaped while planetary regions have cooled and become frozen. Whole areas flooded while others have scorched under the relentless sun. Nonetheless the population of humans continued to expand, developing new hybridized housing for its swollen society on both water and land. In response to this overgrowth, nature’s crippled remnants began to retaliate and reclaim their territory.
Among Us
A series inspired by found objects, Among Us, shows the creatures that i see that object is a part of. The inspiration does not always begin from a single object, but often times it begins from a shadow or a stain or even the way a beam of light falls across a room. Each piece in this series has a found object placed with in it which I saw as the creatures eye or mouth or even as an object used on or by the creature in the painting. This series included work that I created from around the year 2000 to 2005.
I began work earlier, in the 90’s that inspired this collection and those pieces can be found on this website under “Boxes” at the bottom of this page. Those pieces also contain found objects and were paintings within cigar boxes or their lids.
