A piano on a stage with a birds eye view perspective, a zoom view of the keyboard with a dead rose upon it. The piano "brand name" is Still Life with Potential Witness. The piano associated with the close-up view of the keyboard has a "brand name" of Still & Life with Living Witness. The stage curtains appear as both behind the piano and floating over the piano. The division of the perspectives is separated with musical frequency lines; and the play of black & white from the keyboard turns into white frequency marks on a black background going off the canvas at the bottom.This painting is a still life piece that I created to express the travel of time in our attention and how our consciousness is friction. Life is never actually still. Yet, I had to paint this "still life" of moving parts so that you can look at it and see the imagery. Yet, as you look, you are presented with moving, unfinished images of realism and abstraction. Just as thoughts clarify themselves in our memory, but vanish as we move on to new thoughts; just as our bodies grow inside our mother, yet once did not exist there; just as our bodies will pass on, but consciousness will continue in others. Life is friction and we are the witnesses to this friction; seems to suggest that we are simply an extension of this friction that never ends, but certainly keeps changing forms.

I tell people that I paint God’s mistake which I know is controversial whether you are deeply religious or the opposite such as atheist. Yet my work is not about God, religion or atheism. My art is about the trauma associated with the inescapable relationship that mortality has with innocence. Our birth is not the intent of mortality, but it necessarily creates our personal annihilation. This personal destiny leaves each of us vulnerable to condemning our connection with innocent others who “created us to die” without our permission. Our “error” is our ownership of blame for mortality which is not the power over death; it is our power over cruelty. This inescapable destiny is where my art begins its expression(s). MY ART I use the ancient form of 2-D art to represent TIME as broken yet unfinished and continuing. Like the backside of a hung painting, we are absent before our birth and brought into reality through “others” who have marked our canvas of life already. Once born we see ourselves reflected on the "front side" of life yet witness our previous absence. My art examines this division as the relationship between hope and trust relevant to innocence. The change that each of us becomes by birth is a natural expression from life that we can perceive as a tradition of change. My art celebrates this with my rotation of mediums, vivid colors, energetic brush strokes, narratives of time-conflict, emotional dichotomies, vortex compositions showing our inescapable connection to a fractured reality, rhetorical word-play, and weapons symbolizing our relationship with mortal vulnerability. My “signature” is broken mirrors that capture the WITNESS as part of my art reminding us of our entitlement to mortal existence.
