Let Thing’s Be
Creating a new work is often a journey of exploration and experimentation. Typically, it begins with me gathering inspiration from various sources such as emotions, experiences, nature, or music. A vision or concept in my mind or I might start with a blank canvas and allow the work to evolve organically through experimentation.
My process is sometimes retrospect towards my initial mark making. As I work on a piece over time, sometimes stepping away and returning with a fresh perspective, or returning to a completed work.
My final work often emerges as a synthesis of the my original vision, the journey of, and the realization to accept what is. This process allows for the creation of unique and expressive abstract artworks.
Unconscious Self , 2021
Unconscious Self is from the Below The Surface series.
To know one's self is to know the unknown unconscious. To be comfortable in that place. This place is where creativity and hidden treasures are.
-James Hill
Shape You
The world is complicated beyond comprehension. So we make simplified assumptions to simplify things. Simplified assumptions reduce what things are and who people are. We do this to better deal with situations and people. The need to control and understand everything can really put a strain on how you deal with life when things or people don’t meet the simplified structures we have built them up to be in our on minds. Changes that occur out-stand the structures we have created often leave us feeling disappointment or hurt. Those things depending on how devastating they are can change you. Give up a need to simplify things you don’t understand, give up the need to control outcomes that are out of your control. Deal with life’s obstacles for what they are and not what you wish them to be. Be the thing that transforms who you are, not anything or anyone else.
New Series: Coming Soon
A Change In Perspective
This new body of work continues to explore the relationship between conflict of expressing natural instincts and control, communicating thoughts and ideas through imagery. In this series, the themes represent perceptions of blotches analyzed using psychological interpretation’s of controlled and uncontrolled movements, displayed on canvas to be interpreted.
Glitch #2
The world seems to be moving so fast right now. Everything is changing, the society we live in is change how we view each other has changing. I believe faster then we realize. With everything going on we are forced to process emotions that come to use in unpredictable waves. Uncertainty, excitement, loss and pain, but still knowing there is a chance of endless opportunity within in your reach or so you thought. We all are dealing with a lot these days, processing so much all at once could cause a glitch.
Things take time: #4
It all begins with an idea.
A different look at the same thing. Spaces gives the viewer a chance to see the true emotion of this collection. Most of our natural human emotions are masked. We rarely show our true selves.
Things take time: #2
It all begins with an idea.
When and where to start ? Waiting for the right time, it rarely every comes. Starting some where is always the best choice. Often starting only to erase what you have done. Ending with whatever is left. Having started to end just where you are.
Things take time:#3
It all begins with an idea.
Small parts to a larger picture. Is a look at how we fit into a larger picture as individuals.
Things take time: Below the surface
It all begins with an idea.
This collection of work is different from Rooms. This collection is a composite of works that have taken on metamorphosis like process through time. Very much like the process we go through in life, our growth to maturity and the different stages in between. Sometimes reverting in stages, changing not always for the better. Also, reflective in the work is the emotion and mood through those stages. Care free mark marking, layering and stripping away with no regard for any marks made before or ones that will be made later.
