Death is an ancient and dark subject, but I have often contemplated its reality as not possible. Yes, there is mortality, but that we can witness. The state of death is still a mystery even though we can witness mortality countless times, especially as of late with corona virus. We who are still living are the ones who witness mortality, not those who no longer exist, and not those who are not yet born. The witness to mortality is the living. So I made up a song with lyrics that say, "the witness to mortality is not death." and wrote it down in a paper construction. The spiraled paper carries the energy of celebration because for me it is a statement of hope that life can carry forward even though it is created with mortal beings. The song is an actual song and can be played on any instrument or sung. I chose paper because it is fragile like our human bodies. The song is a second expression of resilience associated with mortality because music/sound is invisible, but plays off the surfaces of living mortal beings, and can be passed on to each generation.

I tell people that I paint God’s mistake which I know is controversial whether you are deeply religious or the opposite such as atheist. Yet my work is not about God, religion or atheism. My art is about the trauma associated with the inescapable relationship that mortality has with innocence. Our birth is not the intent of mortality, but it necessarily creates our personal annihilation. This personal destiny leaves each of us vulnerable to condemning our connection with innocent others who “created us to die” without our permission. Our “error” is our ownership of blame for mortality which is not the power over death; it is our power over cruelty. This inescapable destiny is where my art begins its expression(s). MY ART I use the ancient form of 2-D art to represent TIME as broken yet unfinished and continuing. Like the backside of a hung painting, we are absent before our birth and brought into reality through “others” who have marked our canvas of life already. Once born we see ourselves reflected on the "front side" of life yet witness our previous absence. My art examines this division as the relationship between hope and trust relevant to innocence. The change that each of us becomes by birth is a natural expression from life that we can perceive as a tradition of change. My art celebrates this with my rotation of mediums, vivid colors, energetic brush strokes, narratives of time-conflict, emotional dichotomies, vortex compositions showing our inescapable connection to a fractured reality, rhetorical word-play, and weapons symbolizing our relationship with mortal vulnerability. My “signature” is broken mirrors that capture the WITNESS as part of my art reminding us of our entitlement to mortal existence.
