Reanimation

The series is multi layered; revisiting aspects of the human psyche; focused on a longing to return to the true self, the repressed subconscious, named the Id by Freud and the Shadow by Jung, and its bound relationship with the Ego. Through this personification, the artist explores the significance of Women while also reflecting on elements of his own psyche. Inspiration came from the coast line and forest of Capitola, his contemporary and muse; Diana V Walsworth and the amazing women of CrossFit SC Central, most notably Annie Sakamoto. The artist has combined his signature use of thread, with fabric designs by Ana Carolina Cinta. Outside influences came from Christine Ay Tjoe and Anni Albers and authorities in Jungian psychology.
