A SHOW OF HEADS JWG Killer Clown 5000 Flathead Pins in Canvas 14” x 11” My own philosophy remains in flux, fueling my ideology with forward momentum. I use traditional and mixed media visualizations to communicate my want for knowledge. Often you can find me exploring mental inscapes wrought with human complexity. I celebrate adaptive organic form for its strength and beauty especially when it is horrifying. My newest series, Our First Home, delves into the makeup of physiological chemistry: Can my trauma be absorbed and affect my child’s emotional development during pregnancy? Is it possible for personal suffering to create mutations for generations to come; thereby is oppression inherited? With ancestral transference,
are we making a martyr or monster, feeling triumph or trauma, or are we living a life of enlightenment or entitlement? Conceivably, we as a people cannot eradicate racism because it’s too soon in the ancestral mutation to foster that level of positive progression. Perhaps even lack of remorse and the instability of a murderous instinct can be linked to under evolved mutation. So, what did you inherit?
