"Unmanifest", John Vochatzer and David Ball at Moth Belly Gallery

Please join me and John Vochatzer for our opening at Moth Belly Gallery 11/04 6-9pm.

Everything emerges from a field of nothingness; an unclear, intangible plane of consciousness not obvious to the mind: the Unmanifest. From this place all ideas emerge...

Through the deconstructive process of collage art, this collection of work aims to conjure forth beings and deities with essences not always immediately clear or discernible to the eye. Fragments of images become entirely reborn into new and otherworldly settings, forming portraits and situations so unreal they could have only been extracted from that ancient aether of the mind. These careful, meditative, but playful mixed media pieces frame visions formed in the furthermost depths and through their construction seek to rearrange the fabric of reality itself into even more inspired and intuitive forms.

Show at the Royale

For those of you in San Francisco in August and September. I have 10 recent pieces of my art on display at The Royale at 800 Post and Leavenworth from 08/01-09/29 2019. As the Royale is supportive of the arts and takes no commission on sales, I was able to price the works quite modestly.

You need to view the art in its original form to get a sense of what it is and how it is intended to be seen.
