Contraption
These are a few concept sketches for a painting series called “Contraption”. These strange machines create dreams and imagination. These machines exist within the border of unconsciousness. I think these wacky mechanical forms inspire my creative ideas.
Hara - sculpture
This is a sculpture that I am working on completing soon.
Years ago when I wanted to learn more about martial arts and the masters that followed “The Way”, I discovered that the essence lies within the Datian or Hara (Japanese name).
During some meditation sessions I tried to picture this inner life force that unifies mind body and spirit. I imagined a seed that sits three fingers below my navel. But as I looked more closely at this seed in my mind, it became a figure, a smaller yet more important part of my being that holds me together with or without the mastery of strict meditation practices.
