As we crash into an uncertain future, like the flash of lightning in a dry grove, are we doomed to reignite the past? Who gets sacrificed on the pyre of vision?
βStruckβ is my most recent commission. The client requested a painting of the Gaulish deity, Taranis. They were gracious enough to give me full creative agency and allow the vision come through to me as it was. This piece has dual meaning. It is a depiction of an ancient god. It is also about my political and ecological anxieties at this crossroad of human history. Struck is available in print form through my Etsy shop. Link
