Statement
|
|
Great art evokes an emotional response in the viewer. My goal as an artist is to take you on a journey that allows you to see life as if through a different pair of lenses. My work is rooted in the art of the Australian Aborigines; based loosely on the creation "myths" of The Dreamtime or dealing directly with natural elements. The lines are meant to carry you throughout the piece as a current moves through water, while the dot patterns represent the molecules found in all matter.
