artist statement

In the images that I am experimenting with, I am putting together a few simple motifs/ideas.
The first is time. The old man sitting in the chair is symbolic of our time as people on this earth. He is adorn with spanish moss creating a faux-beard. It i the nature of human existence to become old and it is this nature that we try so hard to fight. Another aspect of this struggle with nature can be seen in our homes. We take what we want from the land with little regard to the consequences of our actions. Here the house is being overwhelmed by the force of nature. When our time is spent, nature will move back in and take back what was once its own. The main scene is an agricultural setting. This scene is important because of the way we use nature and how we abuse it.
