"The Shameful One"

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something els is an accomplishment.
R. W. Emerson.
Milling About
I like people because of their familiar shapes. A story can be told through gesture and a glance. I can use people to tell my story. It is very personal. When people glance at these works my hope is that we share something universal and humane.
Ironic
“Ironic”
This is a drawing of an Egyptian scarab, the symbol of self creation. Ironically the scarab is also a dung beetle. An unlikely hero in todays culture. I really like this juxtaposition and implied humility. Drawn in ballpoint pen (a free artist material in the U.S.) and mounted on a sheet of plywood, makes this a particularly democratic work of art.
