Myth and metaphor play an important role in the creation of our culture and give clarity to our lives. Myth and metaphor are tools that help the subconscious mind to digest the happenings of a world that is too complex for our five senses alone.
As an artist, I use these tools to arouse, amuse and provoke thought. When we hear tales of the West, our primary myth, we receive cues to uncover the strength and perseverance required to face personal challenges. That mythic landscape casts a long shadow in our culture...we are still digesting the metaphor. With this latest series of paintings, I am exploring the influence of these myths and metaphors.
As Jim Morrison sang- "the west is the best, get here and we'll do the rest."
