Human

Spring 2013
Mixed Media: Paint, Charcoal, Paper bags
This piece is meant to reflect the constant destruction of humans by other humans and the souls who are set free. Although the idea was meant to cover a broad range emotional situations, it was inspired by September 11, 2001. I used the paper bags to explain the debris left behind.
This pieces was particularly difficult because the bags make the image 3-D. I designed the piece so that only when looking at it's center on at eye level can you truly see the entire image. If you were to look at the piece from any other angle, the faces would look distorted.




Today. Tragedy remembered, lives lost, families destroyed.
Think of a boy who today, will not be hugged by his parents. Think of a girl who today, remembers she was not an only child. Think of parents who today, will wonder what their baby would have looked like.
Be there for those who need comfort from the people who can no longer give it.
