Based on notions of mutation and ephemerality; Coming to the Birth or Entering into a Womb, marries together representations of comparative physiognomy - resemblances between men and animals, a geometric diagram of a mathematical Torus and the creation of elastic temporalities or De Creatione Rerum Temporalium Elastica (Latin) adapted from The Book of Genius’s depiction of creation.

Edify, Exhort & Comfort conjoins the formation of a cellular structure, the precise pattern of a geometric mandala, and a biblical image of the Angel David appearing to the crowd. In this manner, weaves together the worlds of chaos, structure and comfort in terms of organic, scientific and faith-based methodologies.
Edify, Exhort & Comfort is held within The Butler Gallery Permanent Collection.

The term Anthropocene is used to define Earth’s current geologic time period as being human-influenced, or anthropogenic, based on global confirmation that atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biospheric and other earth system processes are being altered by humans. Mirror, Map & Crystal Pyramid explores the genre of Anthropocene fiction by connecting together an image of the downfall of Valhalla, a step-by-step guide to making an origami paper crane, and a geometric model of a crystal pyramid structure. In Norse mythology Valhalla is an enormous hall ruled over by the god Odin, to which half of those who die in combat travel upon death.
