I Was Once a Good Little Boy (2017)
Acrylic and oil pastel on canvas
28 x 22 inches
An automatic drawing that revealed itself as a self-portrait with hindsight.
Milam (2014)
Acrylic, oil pastel, and house paint on paper
30 x 24 inches
Second in a series of works titled “Six Bardos,” inspired by the transitional stages in life, death, and rebirth outlined in Tibetan Buddhism.
Saints (2013)
Oil Pastel, charcoal on watercolor paper
24 x 18 inches
The fourth of four pieces that were created quickly within a span of a week in the summer of 2013 for a series I titled “Church of the Zero-Point Field.”
Expanding my experimentation with surrealist automatism, which I used to create my Water Works series, I started each piece by making random charcoal lines and unconsciously connecting them until enclosed areas and shapes emerged for me to color in. While they were completely unplanned, I realized when I finished that each piece represented to me an aspect of something I’m fascinated by: Einstein’s concept of the zero-point field, and the metaphysical interpretation that this quantum energy field is what connects everyone and everything in the universe, past, present, and future.
