SDED-00, 06/17/2019.
Acrylic on canvas over plywood, 24 x 20 x 2 in (61 x 51 x 5 cm)
SDED-61719 is the next work of the series that, very ambitiously, is trying to take to the next level the artistic philosophy of two great Italian artists, Agostino Bonalumi and Lucio Fontana, whose approach to the flat surface makes a lot of sense thus when merged together, Bonalumi's space can physically generate three dimensions just by using Fontana's solution to "open up space," in which case the flat art piece can escape the two dimensional trap. The logic behind this line of action is that in order to build a three dimensional space you need 2-D elements or the 3-D doesn't happen. In theory, this perspective is doable but it triggers an inevitable amount of planning that is necessary for the piece to be completed. Who knew that a little science and a drop of engineering can help solve an artistic dilemma?!

Violet is a cute grey tabby cat with green eyes. She is wearing a sparkly purple and yellow flamenco dress with a lace crochet shawl. Violet and her clothes have been designed and crocheted by hand by me. She has wiring inside, which makes her legs and arms posable - she can sit all by herself. Violet is approximately 12" tall, so she is about the size of a Barbie doll. 
Violet is perfect for a doll collector and any cat lover. Violet will be available at the University of Arizona National Arts Program exhibit in March 2017.

PeTaL Kalonice Viset had enough of the rueful 404 oldschooler's with their wasteful trainspotting and flirting with the VJ. Due to her misguided accident, Petal decided that she could no longer flood the underground scene with Teckonik moves and subtle flavors of pop locking. While she recovered, PeTaL decided to perform with the less popular "KD oVeR-UnDeR" Shuffle Girlz with their obvious deciptikitties. Kira was tempted to follow her mom's beat, but at an early age she realized she wasn't cut out to dance. Petal frequently told Kira to remain on the straight edge and stay away from the hard-nosed Kandi Kids.

Working day to day designing corporate ad work, I need an outlet to express how I actually feel - this is that. I'm toast, is a direct reflection of how I feel when reaching critical burnout phases of the year. It's the 1st step to addressing the issue - admitting it. These past few years have been especially tiresome and I needed to just admit it.

The Battered Oak Tree by the Chicamauga Dam in the Spring of 2013. Beaten up by storms and hit by lightnings, the mighty oak depicts the much needed human spirit of hope and resiliency that we need to survive in our sometimes hostile world. "Beaten but not broken"
