Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment
of time is Related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection
of the whole… So intimate is this Unity, that it is
easily seen, it lies under the undermost Garment of nature,
and betrays it source in universal spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature
My work centers around
the integration of figuration and abstraction as a metaphor
for the relationship between the body and spirit. It is an exploration
of mysticism found in nature as an alternative to a culture
dominated by French fries, SUVs, and television. Its form reflects
a conscientious objection from pop-culture and consumerism,
and adopts more metaphysical inspirations such as Antonin Hudacek,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Islamic art, and fractal related geometries.
