ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I created this series in 2015. I used the shape of the head from George’s mug shot. I recreated the face three times with elements from my own and two of my cousins’ childhood photos. Eyes, mouths, noses, ears — Other elements used… childhood shirt, side photo of a buffalo, dandelions, cotton, marble and granite textures from building in New Braunfels — I kept thinking, this could be us if we had the misfortune to be born in that era. It was my first foray into art that was born from sadness and rage. If you want to know more about this case Google George Stinney Jr. It took 10 minutes to convict 14-year-old George It took 70 years after his execution to exonerate him. Police said that Stinney confessed to the crimes and, although there was no physical evidence, he was charged with capital murder, tried, convicted and executed by the state – The jury deliberated 10 minutes and found Stinney guilty. The same day Judge P.H. Stoll sentenced Stinney to death by electrocution. The entire process had lasted two-hours…all in the space of 83 days. He was the youngest person to be executed by the United States in the 20th century.

My work is under the direct influence of my 20+ year career as a graphic designer. I'm either decorating with landscapes or speaking on cultural issues with human figures and faces. I want to show you something familiar and then alter your perspective. This isn't to be dismissive of your opinion but to enhance how you might perceive the subject matter. PEOPLE: The figures and faces are an amalgam of people in my life… they are every person... they are me. And anyone who has struggled to find a place and solidify their meaning in this world. Our stories may not be on a global stage but the collective need for understanding and relevance makes each debate, fight or race a grand event. Each piece begins simply. I then apply layer upon layer of information. Not to obscure but to mimic what my brain often does, constantly adding data and context to a setting or subject matter. I suspect we all bring our own “layers” to the events and visuals we encounter and that's where the good stories are. That's where our own vision governs our relationship with the art. LANDSCAPES: These shapes and "views" are familiar but I want to you conjure up images and places you have personally experienced. Not simply reproduce a scene for its own sake. And honestly, beyond that, I want you to enjoy what you're looking at. I can't help but share what's in my head.
