Similar to that of thread to fabric, drawing to painting, the spiritual and physical become the catalyst of my exploration and study into the human condition. By taking the figure and removing all that is familiar to me, seeking the soul -- the true essence -- I'm left with something that has a much deeper grasp of reality -- the human spirit.
