Fine Art    

"The visual description of a three-dimensional world on a flat plane is conjoined with the depiction of further, metaphysical dimensions.

The assimilation of scientific/mathematical ideas is an elegant solution to my quest to combine the spiritual or infinite dimension".

Steampunk Earthquake in Baltimore

Railroad imagery is incorporated because the history of Baltimore is the history of the American tailroad, as it is the farthest inland port on the east coast.  The recent (August,2011) earthquake is shown by broken columns which are made of images of the Shot Tower. A concentric circular map is the foundation for this collage.  The 1948 map illustrates how far each circular district is from the central post office. 2011      $1,800

The World is Flat

Different types of perspective illustrate artificial and/or abstract attempts to represent the three-dimensional world.  Counter claims to the belief that the world is flat historically led to persecution..  Today, the quest for this type of knowledge is diminished by the pervasiveness of technological entertainment represented here by flat-screen television monitors.  The more we are entertained, the flatter the world becomes.
