Myth has been circling humanity like a planet chases a star in the solar system. It’s the never-ending imagination that teaches us significant and sometimes trivial life lessons. My universe speaks of cosmic warriors and creatures big and small who use their elegance and ease to slip wisdom and humor into your everyday life. Vogueing their way into your heart on the rhythms of a dark retro wave.
ALL ARTWORKS ON WOOD HAVE BEEN HAND CUT BY ME USING A JIGSAW AND SCROLL SAW. EACH PIECE HAS A DIMENSIONAL ALMOST SCULPTURAL QUALITY.
CURATIVE FUTURES WEAVE THE PAST
One must make peace with the past in order to cure the future. Flowers and insects have been used for centuries to cure emotional and physical illness.

FROM GREY TO GROWTH
A head full of incorrigible moths liberate the crackling branches of growth. Edgar peers out, scared to leave the cosmic comfort but soon his electric wings will flutter for life. Decay turns into life in the delicate night. Lucky we are and humble we must stay to be part of this cosmos.

BACKYARD TRICKSTERS
An homage to Sebastian, the blue jay that fell from the sky. Gardens should always be full of rascals, the survival of each species whether flora or fauna depends on it.
One day while walking my dog a very noisy bird fight broke out in the trees above me. A few crows were attacking a blue jay protecting his nest. Unfortunately Sebastian drop out of the sky and fell at my feet. He died in my hands while I petted him. I later buried him in my radom creature graveyard.
