My art oozes like toothpaste from an energy source I’m unable to fully comprehend or control. It seems my subconscious is tuned into a frequency transmitted from somewhere deep in the cosmos, traversing time and dimension, and transmuting its narratives into the conscious realm. These could be the faces or gestures I never had a chance to express — suppressed or denied for any reason. Or the voices of alternate personas and other life forms echoed from past lives, or those yet to be realized. This mural is built on a large canvas, designed to be viewed on a grander scale so the deeper characteristics can be revealed. The beauty of life lies in complexity and nuance, and it’s vital to pay attention to details. This piece works on a macro level, paradoxically as a microcosm where all things are connected — a glimpse in time where the liquidity of perpetual movement has paused, allowing us to take it in. The art also works on a more intimate, micro level, where at any point we can narrow focus on individual narratives. This is simultaneously one story and a collection of stories. The edges where one begins and another ends are often nebulous, but each story is represented as it’s own artwork.
