Worlds of Wonder

The “Worlds of Wonder” are an exploration into my dreamscape. A dreamscape that is both metaphysical and physical. Science tells us we live in a multi-dimensional universe. Can both the physical and the spiritual yearning we have be described by art? 

When searching for understanding of our place in this universe can both emotions and feelings become as tangible as protons and electrons. Is what science has seen at the “CERN” collider in confirming the god particle a fact that artists have always gleamed? 

The big bang, the idea then that energy can become matter also confirms that the energy of emotions can transcend and create reality. While seeking these possibilities of evolution and transformation of being, I explore realities in my art, which are seen in my late night dreams.

I symbolize emotion and thought with the physical form, I work by photographing small groups of models and manipulate the bodies and combine them into larger amalgamations, I work in inferred, a light wave length, which appeals to my sense of a super reality. Often I create mood by painting the model with light as I work, using only a flashlight in my hand and long exposures. My computer is my easel and my camera and a flashlight are my brush. Placing the models in small groups and later combining them in the computer, I compose landscapes of my fancy and create allegories of my imagination.

As the manifestation of concept I use the physical form of the body. It is the best way I have to express the nonphysical form and the self. What we understand of our perceptible world is in transition. Every day we learn more what our world is. Our understanding of ourselves, and our place in reality grows by the hour, yet I have thoughts have and questions that are yet to be approached in all that I read. So I dream and make images.
