HANGING PAPER MAN AT DAWN is the piece that lives in my studio. I have tried putting him in storage a couple of times when I am making space for new work on the studio wall. But the image haunts my psyche, and he is out again, mentoring every new work. Conceptually and aesthetically he embodies the central melody of my creative endeavor here on this footprint of land. A psychic contraposto of rest and effort, frustration and determination, vulnerability and strength. A thing imagined striving to touch a thing solid and real. Jacob is wrestling with the divine on a much larger scale. And a new sun's light cascades across the whole. #oilpainting #magicrealism #magicregionalism #surrealism #imaginativerealism #humanfigure #artistmodel #paperdoll #kite #postcontemporary #golem #homunculus #doll #anthropocene #offthegrid #permaculture #land #landscapepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnNW6dnmrm/?igshid=1q2wq9w4jn8xu

THE SECOND CHAPTER OF EDEN. This is the one! Sums up my whole practice, my relationship to the land, the anthropocene, human ingenuity, all wrapped up in the glorious myth of the golem. I consider it my 1st Symphony. A complex harmony of concepts and color.... I am going to start reciting my pay works, ruminating on their significance as I prepare for a coming 3rd Chapter of my practice. #oilpainting #magicrealism #magicregionalism #surrealism #imaginativerealism #postcontemporary #golem #homunculus #doll #anthropocene #offthegrid #permaculture #land #landscapepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDO7JsHJeT/?igshid=qhb3p0uanaot
