This piece is an example my connection to the existential. Hierarchy as well as dominance and submission are as old as the hills. These conditions have been recorded in art throughout the entire history of civilization, and we are still unsettled when we learn that it continues to be part of the human landscape. I have used mosaic and bas relief to suggest a suggest the timelessness of survival.

The issues presented in the work are identical with the existential issues in our lives.
Will I die today? What will I have for lunch?
My suggestion to anyone interested is to just look at the work. Everything you need to know about it is there.

If you really must know, I start first with a vague concept. I plan out the production in all it’s details, stages materials,finishes etc., much like the way a film is produced. Then everything changes during the process. It never turns out as it was originally intended. That’s the way things are.
