Statement:An entity surrounded by their environment is a universal concept, whether it is from what we call reality or in the realm of the sub-conscience. In my current body of work, The UFO series, I expand this theory to encompass extra-terrestrial themes. In these surrealistic landscapes I let the scene unfold as I work. It is spontaneous mark making while a broader theme is conceptualized the individual pieces take on a life of their own.
