Nabla

acrylic on canvas
24 × 18 in.
SOLD

Titled as such for the upside down black triangle, Nabla is a mathematical symbol (like a reversed delta) used in calculus and named after an ancient Phoenician harp-like instrument.

To me this piece resembles a witchy mask that gives the wearer access to chaos/unknown/ pregnant potential through the black nabla that acts as a doorway.

Stet

acrylic on canvas
24 × 18 in.

“Stet” means “let it stand” and is used as an instruction on a printed proof to indicate that a correction or alteration should be ignored. This piece is titled as such in reference to the krink marker scrawls in the background of the piece. A lot of times I paint over the majority of these markings. This time I have left a lot of this asemic writing in view. The aesthetic reminds me of a tagged up wall with pasted over paper fliers. The overall composition is like a shield or protective armor or vest.

Two Way Prayer

acrylic on canvas
24 × 18 in.

In this piece, the revelation is the dark burgundy leaf shape in the upper left corner. It is mirrored by a black shape and the two together make a sort of heart. The black shape is also repeated two more times across the top of the picture, making a pattern or visual mantra. Essentially, the message is about prayer itself and the answer is the other half of your heart echoed back to you.

Oracle

acrylic on canvas
24 x 18 in.
SOLD

A black box with an eye-shaped peep hole to look through–from the inside or outside. Translucent green arrows point upward and outward indicating the power of projection. Subtle 3D doorways and pyramids suggest access to another dimension. The red translucent circle at the top serves as a ~drishti~ or a spot for focused gaze amidst chaos.

Ancient Daydream
       
     
Ancient Daydream

acrylic on canvas
24x18 in.

A ceremonial mask with green stripes of the beetle, one of the most ancient creatures to still roam the earth. Beetles, like butterflies, go through the four stages of complete metamorphosis and symbolize great strength, resilience and transformation. Here the smaller pink circle sits at the third eye point and represents the personal, inner dream. The larger nude circle represents its full realization in the light of day.

The mirrored burgundy triangles at the top are sharp and indicate a seriousness and warrior quality. The lower portion of the piece is textured and worn. Subtle, radiating seed patterns in the background indicate boundless potential and contain the blueprint for the dream.
