Origins

Picture
Prime  12"x12" 

Origins is a  series of paintings.

'Prime' is the first painting, the seed. It was originally created to be an NFT. Upon learning about the inherent environmental and social problems of the crypto world, however, that destination for the work has been  entirely abandoned. It is now just a painting. The landscape was generated without looking at any source imagery.  It's based on memories, what the paint wanted to do, and ideas of Enlightenment-era graphic design (filigrees, cartouches, scrolls).  

The next paintings in this series will wander the  boundaries of  the perception of a human face as the central object. These nonspecific visages will be surrounded by likewise imagined depictions of nature.
