Metamorphosis

Butterflies and Scorpio, Jellyfish and Virgo. The stories depicted here by the use of animal imagery and constellations, screen printing and painting, and a variety of materials, range in being autobiographical, mythological, ephemeral, and nostalgic. Metamorphosis is rooted in ancient forms of story telling. In strong stories we find archetypes and transformative moments. Captured moments, bold and timeless imagery are things we all share in common through lineage and our shared history with popular culture. The commonality of the imagery used in this series is intended to bring the viewer and artist together in an exchange of unspoken recognition and emotional convocations.
Screen printing combined with painting, drawing and collage are the techniques I used to execute these ideas. Materials used to screen print and paint on range from the traditional paper and canvas to more non-traditional materials such as steel, cement, concrete, glass, chiffon, plaster, dirt, enamel, and wood
