At the foot of the tree of life.

Overview: This work incorporated a fluid event with overworkings with brush. The way the paint flows and mingles for me describes a complex but natural creation process. The bright highlights in pink amplify the energy of the movements and the use of small brushes and fine detail describe the delicate nature of this universe and provide a sense that the elements and details are part of a much larger and infinite picture.

Reduce Speed to 110

Overview: This is a mult-ilevel overhead view of highways, flight paths , roads and property borders. Each is overlapped and in some cases interwined to show a historic evolution. Fine lines within the freeways representing vehicle trajectories, lane changes and accidents. The circular mesh patterns elude to zoom and zoom-out of gps and digital mapping devices with key destinations colour coded. The overall observation is a comment on speed restrictions in times of high pollution where autoroute speed is restricted from 130kmh to 110kmh. The complexity is a representation and reflection of a more complex problem and a sense of being overpowered by the infrastructure already in place.

Moon Landing?

Overview: The modular nature of the canvases describes 2 possibilities of the questing "Did we really make it to the Moon?" . The mountains and landscape of the oppposing surfaces are seperated when the canvas is posed in a vertical portrait position and joined when posed in a horizontal position thus reinforcing the each answer either true or false. There are is an astronomical galaxy of stars and planets with intertwined paths and trajectories that represent calculations and radiation flashes beyond the earths atmosphere.
