Inside Out: A Collective Creative Unconscious

0

I am interested in the idea of a collective object permanence; how to combine myths with reality; merging fact with fiction; I use the traditional tools of an illustrator to communicate these ideas. I like to make beautiful, detailed images that seduce the viewer and invite them to wonder or assume. Certain tongue-in-cheek didactic images are in rebuttal of current events. I firmly believe there is a single collective creative unconscious that all artists draw from but cannot begin to explain how it works. I once read to define one's life by positives; I like this idea and try to carry it into my art and life.

Art and life getting along well.
