The focus of my world is the depiction of Space—Deep Space. But, even that came from hearing the story of Einstein's brain in a jar. Wondering and envisioning all that conjured up. The whole current viewpoint of life and our universe, the man that was everything that said new millennium, caged, there, in a jar. And, my work has always had aspects of my interest in illusion and myth. I use a visual personal vocabulary not always apparent, and because I really like abstraction, the work is not always transparent. Somehow I'm always chasing those shadows in the night. The media could be print, but is also photography and paint. More often than not, it is a combination of the old and the new, the digital and the analog, a mix of media and meaning. Conceptual more than literal.
This Spiral Galaxy is the culmination of my journey exploring stenciling and using the laser cutter as a tool. Canvas was cut and used as a stencil to hand print both stretched canvas and sheets of canvas. Then those printed sheets could also be laser cut. Both the stencil and the circle shapes were then attached to the printed stretched canvas. French knotted circles are layered into the galaxy of circling elements. Ever spinning.Label Type
