Standing Tall
Acrylic & ink on canvas, 48x30 $2200 (Scroll down for purchase details) Sold unframed Giraffes are vulnerable because mankind continues to hunt and urbanize the regions where they live. Urban habits are a large cause for climate change, largely contributing to the loss of their habitat. Trees and grass plains will continue disappearing if we don't start changing our urban habits. I often infuse my work with clusters of symbols organized in different ways. These symbols represent all aspects of life on the planet, like biology, chemistry, alchemy, technology, mathematics, pop culture, tribal symbols and icons of my own. Humanity’s impact on our world is so profound and life altering that it seems all exists either in chaos, perpetual conflict or imbalance between humans, technology and nature. Going through creating these clusters allows me to organize and digest the chaos, and literally open up space to breathe within the work and myself. Otherwise, all open space would be filled with chaos. My work, though it tells hard truths about how human behaviors and consumption habits affect life, it is about hope that the human race will create a sustainable planet where life and technological advances can live in balance. |
