This is my painting tentatively called "Bird-Man smelling a Flower". I say tentatively because I have discovered that although many of my compositions are planned beforehand there are aspects to my works that I can be completely unaware of. That is, sometimes other people also see things in my work I would of never voiced, but which are entirely valid and which helps me to understand the work.
Also many of my paintings belong in a larger narrative. Some of my approaches to painting include, trying to understand the self, the external world and all things in it; through symbols, dreaming, and the creative process. Lately especially I have discovered layers of mythic meaning between, and in many of my works of the last two years. In fact, I am writing a fictional story based on the works as a whole. So when I say a work is "tentatively titled" it is because I have not had the time or feedback to understand the work, or how it fits into the larger puzzle of what it is I am trying to say.
