My work is interested in the politics of the universal consciousness and tethered to the lineage of the Abstract Expressionists; it engages with Jungian ideals  that there is a shared consciousness tapped into and revealed through the viewers' engagement with abstracted color and form. My work is not bound to one medium or style but joins multiple platforms of material, and processes that I believe are necessary& for subject & engagement. The use of recycled material makes oblique references to karmic notions of rebirth and regeneration along a continuum of time.

Luminiferous Aether Sight

Beautiful Natural Agate Geode Druzy Slice Gemstone, incorporated into welded reclaimed metals finished in dark blue and green paint with gold metal flake and brass chips. 

Inspired by the wonders of nature – including the elegance & intricacy of anatomies and the evolution of species to cope with the ecological challenges facing them.

Luminiferous aether or ether ("luminiferous", meaning "light-bearing") was the postulated medium for the propagation of light and hope.
