This second piece of my Incarnation series shows a progression towards corporeal or biological themes. One of my intentions with this series is to depict people in the process of being created. I believe we are spiritual beings who are "incorporated" into the physical world. This series represents a convergence of several elements that have been present in works I have done over the years: the skeleton, the body and biological processes, ethereal abstract lines, and the incorporation of trash into artwork. The number 9 bears no special significance--I used this found object as a way to physically break the plane of the canvas. I took cues from its shape to give direction to the abstract shapes surrounding the figure.
has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
