Communication Station Incarnation Evaluation

Piece description from the artist

The desire of unity in our community is the basic abstract concept that I use in all of my work. I do this to demonstrate the way in which all of us can interact with each other as we traverse through the friction of life. The lyrical design, color, or flow of the way that humans are constructed at a cellular level is reflected in these organic shapes and vibrant colors. Each person is engineered the same way, yet we all turn out to be unique. We are all different shapes, sizes, and colors. The variety of shapes and colors I use in my work reflect those differences abstractly in each harmonious piece. The content of all my art reaches out with splashes of paint and lines of communication to all. The color choices are fun, uplifting, with an excited feeling of joy and love. When people are happy they gush with jubilant emotions and conversations. I abstractly depict those emotions, ideas, and interactions in my art.
