2017 – A New Earth
2017 – A New Earth
This series was born in the lush jungle of Kapoho, Hawaii, where the Big Island’s untamed energy reshaped my work.
Surfaces were drawn directly from the land: earth, rainwater, black, white, and green sand, rusted metal, coconut fronds. Yet it was the island’s volcanic pulse—constant eruptions, stark contrasts of jungle and lava—that truly ignited me. Translating that wild intensity onto canvas felt like taming a free-spirited horse: alive, unpredictable, exhilarating.
These paintings serve no practical purpose—no survival need like food, water, shelter, or connection. Instead, they bridge the physical and the formless, messengers from another realm. They invite viewers to awaken within the dream: this is A New Earth.
