All things living and growing. Nature.

And all things natural.






Ultimately, that is what my art is about.

Hence the organic forms, the nudity, the flowers, the trees, the creeping vines; the constant references to Polytheism, and the spirituality thereof.

The Earth is like a womb. From it, all life becomes. Should it not then be worshiped and held in the most sacred, highest regard?




But then again, im not saying anything that hasn't already been said well over 5,000 years ago.




And ofcourse, you could argue that date back even further. How old is the Venus of Willendorf?


They don't even know. They had to make an estimate.

About 24,000 BC – 22,000 BC is what I came up with when I looked it up on the Internet just now.

But just for argument's sake, lets fast forward to the creation of modern civilization.

Mesopotamia. Egypt. Greece.



Rome.



There was a goddess or god dedicated to just about every aspect life.


And not just Human life. Animal life. Plant life. Aquatic life.

Right down to the tiny little earthworms in the soil. And the Romans knew this.



Infact it didn't take a genius to figure that one out. These tiny little creatures are vital to the Harvest.





But apparently, modern, self-destructive, monotheistic, societies infact, DO need a genius to figure it out:

"...It may be doubted if there are any other animals which have played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures."

-Charles Darwin







the worms are important, the bees are important, the spiders are important, the rainfall is important, etc., etc., etc.

To the Ancient Egyptians, Black was the color of life, White was the color of death.
When the floodwaters from the Nile River receded, the land was dark, rich with nutrients, and capable of sustaining life. The desert, however was void of life.





Today we have a word for that: ECOSYSTEM.



2,000 years ago, they had a name for that as well: DEMETER.




But then again, there were well over 800 different names, from many different societies, but the truth is, even that is only just an estimate, as most have become lost to time.




Human beings were not always a self destructive, homicidal, plague. At one point there existed a relative balance with world around them.




All things living and growing. All things natural.

A return to Enlightenment, and rational thought in the form of Paganism. Personified.




Now go away.

Your work is so fantastic. Even knowing that it's sculpted I find myself fooled into thinking its a B&W images. Your detail and crafting of the human anatomy is amazingly precise! Although I rarely scour through sculptures I have yet to EVER come across something this wonderful. If I had the money I would definitely come to you for a sculpture to place in my house! Keep up the good work and may your future be blessed with further inspirational talent!!

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?
Man in Black: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
