This series is about creating compositions that refer to still life, yet aren't quite a still life. I am linking associations, objects, and thoughts -- deconstructing this traditional genre by making my internal monologue more important than the elements of the art form. Each object is more than the traditional opportunity to explore form, color and light. This series explores AI derived images, celebrity worship, imitation and dreams -- a mix of my American experience that reflects the chaos of our current world.
