Abstract THIS IS WHAT I MEANT WHEN I TOLD YOU is a quest to visually decipher the complexities of "self."� The goal is to form a relationship of honesty between my mind and my hand, the art and the viewer. The work investigates reoccurring ideas, threaded through each day, in order to create narratives based on the immediacy of emotion, and the struggle between self-realization and uncertainty. Or as one commented during my show, "A celebration of the dark side of life."
