The following work is based in two dominant categories ; Abstract Reality and Dreamscapes Materializations, both styles of my own invention. Abstract Reality (1974) is based in memory recall. When the mind revisits a memory it often includes and omits particular details associated with positive and negative experiences in time. Images approach super realism in clarity while details become simplified, abstracted or nonexistent. In creating these compositions I am sharing memories, sometimes including the best and worst of life's experiences.
Dreamscape Materializations are simply that, dreams revisited for reflection in the conscious world. Some say that dreams are unconscious mechanisms for coping with the pressures and stresses of our daily lives. Sanity maybe the fate of those individuals able or unable, willing or unwilling to distinguish between the unconscious and conscious worlds.
