Aloha

Aloha is literally "the presence of breath," or "the breath of life."
Liminal

Tools: Procreate, Photoshop
“Upon gazing at Liminal, the resonance of the grind of a constant and homogeneous, uphill battle denotes the unwitting parts of the machine…the people climbing the stairs. A looped ascent in a structure that grates at these individuals is evident in the posture and the figurative “monkeys on their backs.” No amount of preparedness or endurance can sharpen a person to the complexities of the literal machine we coexist with in today’s society. Liminal by definition is occupying a threshold. However, there is no arrival point in a system meant to plug you in and use you for its own ends. Hopeful imagery rests atop the cogs and mathematical impossibilities perceived in this piece; trees, celestial bodies, and flicker of lights and linings of silver cast behind the great human-made defeat suggesting perhaps there is more to this experience we call “society.”

Tools: Procreate; Photoshop
Consumer is a seamless, repeating pattern both visually and conceptually. It’s a tongue-in-cheek play on consumer culture.

7-layer silkscreen

Composition details:
Pattern VI: Feet features several elements coexisting within a universe made up of a pattern. Elements consist of wolves, smokestacks, hands, a figure pushing a cog up a ladder, feet, a hand holding a smoking pipe
Concept:
This is about the patterns of work: a tenacious drive, or a somber desperation; to exploit, or to be exploited; the hunter, or the hunted; to be enslaved by industry, or to be enslaved by one's own passion or obsession.
