Angels

 
 
 


 
 


 

    These paintings expresses the belief that angels are present in our world and that they are here to guide us somehow. I envision them congregating in humble places and not drawn to great churches or the richness of our commercial world. The merit of a wealth-centered society is a vital concern in our day and age, where money and financial success is too often our guide. The angels convey that the challenges we face draw us away from such fleeting fortunes and closer to what is most important. With these themes, I find a correlation to my use of discarded objects and exploration of value. The multidimensionality of materials, overall image, and message reflect my aim to unveil layers of our reality, and to acknowledge the wonder of how things are so much more than they appear.
