Reunion

My recent works are commentary on the physical manifestations of animalistic behaviors such as territoriality in our world. My drawings draw from the visual language of territorial markers. I alter those territorial markers to create a dual meaning, one that encompasses separation and its opposite - unity. Mounds, a recurring motif in my current work, are reminiscent of the shell mounds created by indigenous nomads that once dotted the coastline, or simply mountains. Mountains can represent obstacle or a boundary, but it also represents spiritual elevation and enlightenment of the greater whole. –Artist statement
