Mars in Vimshottari dasa 2017-2024

This seven year cycle was hot and amplifying and will forever be remembered as the years that transitioned me back to the fine arts. The work ranges from aerial photographs of nudes to 3D assemblages/masks to oil on canvas. These years hold the biggest shake-up I have experienced to date - by way of ending a 13 year relationship and ultimately leaving the home I designed and built to being terminated from a 15 year career in higher education while exercising my human right to not be vaccinated. What doesn't kill us makes us incredibly stronger, that I can confirm first hand. This cycle also holds many beautiful shifts as I embraced my rediscovered abilities to make art while meeting and partnering with an incredible woman/artist/goddess. I am grateful for the lessons and blessings Mars bestowed upon me. There will be no 'new' work added to this section.

unknown 2020 - paper collage on board 20"x20"

This series of paper collage is created from various magazine clippings layered and glued together. I am inspired to remove all objective familiarity within each piece so the final build challenges the viewers presumptive context, and associations with the graphics they are witnessing.
