About The Artwork
Consciousness is something we all inherit at birth and within that consciousness are opposite emotional-psychological options to care or not care because we did not invent our lifetime; someone else did. So, the raw options to care or not care are equal in value. Even the use of these options equal in consequences because demanding that people care is cruelty, and allowing people to not care in negative situations like Nazisim, racism, etc. is also cruel. Thus,our relationship with consciousness is dynamic, not fixed. I paint this as a suggestion that sin is not permanent even when it began. Separation is natural because we have polar opposite options in our consciousness; neither of which is purely evil, nor purely pure. Innocent consciousness when witnessed by any individual is created with this dynamic paradox. My abstract imagery has a mirror for reflecting the viewer as "the witness" and the shape of the mirror resembles a child who has graduated from college; like the witness who has accepted their relationship with this paradoxical innocence. The colors red and blue symbolize this polarity and the purple represents their common connection in consciousness. The words ALSO and BEGINS are in purple to represent the paradox. The polar options in red and blue are distinguished by "choosing a side"- The Title: Thus God Breaks, is my reference to universal consciousness. ALL life inherits this paradoxical divide because of mortality and also the process of being born by someone else's decision. The "break" is not negative in my mind. It is prosperity, free will of choice, and the opportunity for diversity inclusive of still being part of the initial origin. The break is not separation, it is action in different directions. Action is motion and cannot break, but it can produce conflicting consequences.

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.
