Subject Change

I have been fortunate enough to figure out that my original theme for my concentration works is not something I want to pursue. Instead my theme is now death. Death and its connotations given to it by different peoples and cultures. My works will be tablets or masks with sculptural depth, used in dioramas, installations, or other interesting ways in photographs. They will have reoccurring visual themes and have a surrealistic feel to them. The first concentration work is a cultural "worship" of death and its use as an instrument by which to achieve a desired means. All works will have a commentary presented in the subject matter. I find that artists like Zdzislaw Beksinski spike my interest in nightmarish fantastic interpretations of such subject matter.

I will try to document my first work developing as it happens...
