Covid-19 pandemic March 20, 2020
Just a few months into the covid-19 pandemic, little data is available or known about the deadly virus at the time. Vaccines seem improbable in the near future. With lockdowns and restrictions piling up along with the death tolls, a looming uncertainty grips the masses. Looks like we will be playing with ourselves for a while.

We live in the nuclear age, science and technology have transformed society in many various ways, yet none more profoundly than nuclear weapons. This ageing technology has either rendered international war impossible or the complete destruction of civilization, inevitable.
Growing up, the ever common ptsd from the Cold War and possibility of another nuclear war was evident in my father, as he pondered all the potential trigger points between the super powers, studying the news and history, looking for the strings that would finally break.

Well in line with my artist statement. In this piece the monument “le Arc De Triomphe” is used as a play on words from French to English from arch to (arc). The structure itself is shaped the same as it represents in the painting and title, the arc of a graph.
Violence and war have always been with us. While our greatest strength has come from our ability to transmit cumulative knowledge, accelerated after our invention of language and writing; this fantastic evolution has also meant that we have increased our capacity for killing to an even greater degree. So much so, that the most succeful nation states could destroy the world dozens of times over. No evil design has brought us to this impasse, but the old games continue as our technical abilities have outpaced the evolution of our soul. We dance at the abyss with the angels and demons of our nature. My work attempts to represent this ancient conflict in the modern individual context of increasing anxiety, detachment, disenfranchisement and helplessness under the heel of powers greater than we can confront or control.

The great deal of movement found in the buildings as the flames dance through them helped this piece sell almost right away.

after visiting my father in the hospital (heart attack). I was reminded of the times visiting my mother in the hospital as a child playing ping pong with my father in the waiting room and sharing a kitkat with my mom (who passed away when I was 7)

This was a live nude model drawing I made in my second year of a 3 year diploma program at the Ottawa school of art. Although the man and the sink on the right were physically there, the reflection/mirror drawn on the left was not. in which this man sees a woman over his shoulder who isn’t physically there. Using this nude model as my vessel this would signify to me the end to the relationship with my first love.
