Experiments is a double entendre. Although I love oil paint, I have a terrible reaction to any kind of solvent, so I experimented with open acrylics. I also love to draw at life size scale, but the media I prefer is temperamental and prone to buckling. I found and experimented with a new paper that doesn't wrinkle.
Discovering the other meaning of "Experiments" is wholly up to you, the viewer. This is visual communication. The work either does its job, or not, or somewhere in between. The meaning lies in whatever it evokes in you, and that is up to you and your experience.
If you are curious as to my inspiration for the blended figure imagery, there is extensive biographical information on my website(s). Suffering is part of the human condition. It’s what we do with it that counts. I hope my work also evidences resilience and love, and touches on other universal truths.
The choice is yours. Enjoy the show.
