Holarchy
Acrylic on Canvas, 24x12
 
This work explores how we are whole as one and simultaneously a small part of a whole. I seek to translate where I see myself in the grand scheme of existence.

While exploring personal transformation, I inject my work with tightly organized clusters of symbols inspired by binary code, pop culture, archaic lettering, mathematics, alchemy, and my iconography. This process of “organizing chaos” is intrinsic and cathartic, and visibly creates stability in my work.
​
​"And it’s in that place—of feeling the Earth’s injuries and feeling it with each other—that the alchemy emerges. It’s in the cauldron of sharing our grief with our community, of gazing at it together and not looking away, that the heartbreak turns to hope. Hope, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed...We struggle between two contrasting views of humanity: one driving to a technological endgame of artificially enhanced humans, the other enabling a sustainable future arising from our intrinsic connectedness with each other and the natural world."    -Jeremy Lent
