Take the path that spirals towards the gold that awaits for those willing to make it through the fires along the way. The path lies inward.

I called this piece detritus because at the time I painted it I felt in a visceral way that I was shedding the masks of past versions of myself. It was a time of great internal change and catharsis. As you can see by the painting there were many layers that had to be let go of. I encourage all to look at the masks they wear and ask, Is this me or is this a mask I need to put down.

Stars may look as if they are disconnected from one another but they are connected. Patterns of nodes across the sky distributing energy in the form of light across the universe.

Sometimes, even when amongst masses of people. It can feel as if you’re standing on the moon gazing out. Or if you’re anything like me, you can be surrounded by people and still be looking into the vast interior of your mental universe. Either way it is a feeling of solitude. This solitude I’ve come to appreciate more and more with each passing year.

Sometimes life can feel like it’s spinning you around like a top. Making it difficult to get your bearings. The thing is, if you can take a step back and look at it. The spin is just as full of holes as this “top” I’ve painted.

I was thinking a lot about how the body emits a field of energy that if viewed resembles a Taurus. Which led me to think about how the Earth has a magnetic field that protects it. These magnetic fields would be called a dipole. I just kept encountering this truth of polarity. So I was compelled to paint my pixelated approximation of that idea. You could say I was magnetically drawn to do it.

I’m obsessed with the idea that nothing truly has an ending or beginning. Just degrees of difference. This is one of the first paintings I did exploring that. I thought what better example than the sun. On it’s ever moving surface temperatures can wildly fluctuate creating a shifting palette of colors. You could even extend it’s lack of ending by showing how all the waveforms extend well past the visible.

I come from a town whose name means yellow. It was a very red town. My family however was mostly blue. I didn’t particularly know what I was going for when I started this but the idea of it, so far as I’m concerned, is that everything eats itself. It’s all an ouroborous continually being created and destroyed. It’s about who you choose to be in the moment in between. That’s where life is. It’s not in the division of ideology. Not in who your family is. Not in where you live. It’s who you continually choose to be at every moment of creation. Do you want to fall into a category or do you want to transcend them and see that it’s so much more beautiful when you live in that moment between. The ever present now.
