Spheres of Influence: Between my body and the breathing Earth
This series of images was born out of a commitment to paint with abandon. By freely exploring the left behind and the put aside, through impulse and consideration, fresh sensation and in-sight emerged. Each painting has a quote by the inspiring environmental philosopher Dave Abram from his book Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. I hope you enjoy the show!
