About the work:
Multimedia Series
When the lockdown started, I expanded on forms that I had been creating for a few years. They suddenly took on an intense meaning for me. Everyone in the world is going though a kind of metamorphosis, both personally and collectively.
Photography Series
Like many around the world, I was under a strict city lockdown and curfew. Walking my dog Harley, became one of the few times I was able to go outdoors and mentally escape. I began to document my walks with photography and publish them on social media.

Multimedia Series
The cocoon-like form is a place of solitude and transition, of moving from one state into another.
Transformation.
Potentiality.
In Asia, there is a belief that all the people you have ever met, or will ever meet are connected with an invisible red thread.
Photography Series
During the strictest part of the quarantine and early curfews, I began photographing interesting things along my dog walks.
I take photos along the same 4 routes in my neighborhood and post them to my social media accounts. Over time, I realized I have been creating a kind of visual journal of my experiences of In the Time of Covid19.
Recent Oil Paintings
During the strictest part of the quarantine and early curfews, I have also been working on various paintings, oil on linen board.
I have created 3 paintings in an underwater series and several still life works to continue to stretch my practice.
