About The Artwork

"Liberator", 2015, mixed media. Sticks and stones, feather and eggshell, steel chains, paper, acrylic, glue and fiberboard, in handmade fiberboard box, 16 x 16 x 2 inches (40 x 40 x 5 cm). The shallow space is divided into three compartments: At the top, a rusted chain hangs in an empty space; what it binds is not seen; in the large central area birds fly among a palisade of trees beyond which nothing is visible, while the remains of stone walls or altars litter the foreground; in the lower compartment, the confining egg -- painted like the blue earth -- is broken open and its occupant freed, the chain is snapped, and a feather hangs suspended in air. The theme is that of imprisonment and freedom: the wall I build to protect me is also my prison. This piece is housed in a box made of high-grade 1/4” medium-density fiberboard, ready to hang.

Born in Montgomery, Alabama, and raised in the rural Appalachian foothills of the northeastern part of the state, my childhood was surrounded by the natural world, the rigid social and cultural traditions of the deep South, the distant rumblings of 1960's social changes, and the panoramas of human existence revealed to me through reading, music and art. Most of my adult life has been spent working as a graphic designer in Birmingham, South Florida, and Dallas -- primarily in the television industry -- where I was immersed yet another hybrid universe, a fun-house world of ego, transitory celebrity, and social manipulation. These days I live and work in a cabin on the edge of the Ozark National Forest in northwest Arkansas, decompressing.
