New Myths & My Religion

Everyone has their myths and legends. Stories passed down through generations, myths orient our experience within fantastic narratives, many of which we see today within our own culture, being rewoven and retold. Mythology reinforces a societal need for identity and belonging. Tracing established genealogies and exploring treacherous foundational myths reveals that we have always looked for our place in the universe. New Myths & My Religion introduces a new mythology, a story from the world I know.

As these compositions actualized on the canvas, my icons became a lexicon through color and form. These stories and these symbols, and what they represent, may be flexibly deciphered; based on the viewer’s own experience, they will make their own associations with what they see. There are so many stories to be told, so many quests and perspectives. What story do you see? What myth will you tell?
