    Commentary

  • My artwork starts out telling a story and exploring everyday life and the environment by explaining it through dreams. When Dreaming, the dream moves from one scene or event to another, sometimes in nonsensical script. But this is how my body of art work starts its imaginary description of a dreamscape with its characters living life in this dream reality. Being awake is another state of reality. Both of these states of awareness have similarities - change and the perception of its state of being. With my body of painting each element has a dual role or description of playing, dancing, living and dying in this dream story; much like a poetic impression, with multiple abstract ideas. As the Dream Snake’s body of art work grew it changed from a method of interpretation to a character in this dream environment. The character Dream Snake is watching existence. Examples of this are the paintings DreamSnakes @ The start of Yin & Yang and DreamSnakes @ The Gates of Shangri-la. Both of these paintings are the character witnessing the creation or being of the subject.
