This projectile series was begun in 2010 during a difficult period in my life when my mother was dying. Life was a battle in many ways and so painting lighter subject matter such as geishas and psychedelic guitars somehow lost its relevancy for me. Life it seemed, demanded that my work deal with more difficult issues of life including those of spirituality, forgiveness and our own mortality. In this series I focus on how death and life are interwoven in a play of good and evil, and how to find peace and harmony within the discordant elements of our lives. These objects with dark histories are been reintroduced to the world as art and so I consider them beautiful, even sacred. A number of objects with this theme are currently in the works and will be posted in the future.
