Overview

Anamorphic neon sculpture. The latest in a series incorporating a technique that I first developed in 2003. It depicts different images from different perspectives depending on the location of the viewer. In “Live and Breathe 2021” the symbolic imagery compares and contrasts the simple act of breathing and the impact it has had on life during the Covid 19 pandemic

Goals

The goal was one I set for myself. It was to create a work of art that presented a unique incite into what was happening with society at the time. The work depicts an African American Male wearing an N95 mask from a view facing west and an image of a woman in a padmasana when seen from the north.

Process

The only aspect of collaboration was from my dealer who asked me to create a piece in neon for a temporary pop-up exhibition he produced for the fall of 2021.
