The Awakening (2008)

My intention in this series was to create a space which breaks from reality, constructs a new perspective, and touches upon universal human truths. To abstract from reality is to create a metaphor, one which becomes coherent only after being combined with the viewer’s pre-existing library of symbolic imagery. In this realm of the subconscious, figurative and abstract elements combine with preexisting perceptions and archetypes to evoke sensations beyond that which aesthetics can provide. I’d like to invite the viewer to explore his/her own existence through the imagery depicted in these paintings.
