My latest work in mixed media takes many ideas from the traditions of iconography. The golden halos have turned into large abstract shapes that play on the pictorial surface with the same rhythms as they do in traditional icons, but without the human presence. I use wood boards as the base for my work as it is used in iconography, but instead of the people as religious beings I have placed nature on the pedestal. The series is called Nature as God and looks into the philosophy of Pantheism as well as how primitive humans experienced and worshipped nature.
