ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020 Submission

Not so unlike many artists, I would argue that my work is pure invention. However, the collage elements included here are literally borrowed and subject to the corruption of my focused muddling. My art features images of mostly familiar objects and symbols, though these prosaic items may receive a modest promotion via special treatment. I see much of my work as visual experiments connecting the real and the illusionistic through infinite combinations of paint and other ordinary stuff, so to speak. The small objects I literally stick in the picture are often just bits and scraps of things. Any other time, they would likely be swept up with the rubbish. But for me, this specially chosen detritus is truly compelling. Tiny details add up big in the realm of the hand held and closely examined. To paraphrase, as I cull the living flower of art, perhaps new forms of recognition will grow from within the composite sediment and pigment layers.
