Ripped Away was finished on 11/26/2011. It was derived from a series of dreams. I manipulated them into a mental blender. It was a lot of fun, I hope you enjoy. It is 8.5”x 11” on Strathmore paper with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and took roughly 100 hours.
I'm torn between what exists in the natural realm and the spheres in my mind. I search for boundaries that confide in one another, while coexisting in the spiritual realm. Part of me pulls toward the static structures of the rehearsed 'norm'. While the other part of me doesn't give a flying leap of the boundaries known and well comprehended. We may never know what truly is reality and that which we merely manifest by our mental consciousness. As I continue to grow and understand my role as an artist, my body of work shall document my mere survival of these two forces at play within the fibers of my spirit.
