The Injured Fascade

"This body of work deals with hopes, lies, and confusion of a conceptualized war, from the psychological aspects of mourning and the heroic, to a pictorial narrative of certain moments which illustrate the savagery and brutality of the moment.  Common themes also addressed are spirituality, the visual emergence of sound during such events, and the physical history of war itself on architecture.  Physically the work is a combination of my growing interests in the pictorial balance between image and abstraction, between narrative and portraiture, and between pattern and design."
