“listen: there’s a hell of a good universe next door; let’s go”

– ee cummings

Just read about quantum physics, spooky action at a distance and parallel universes and tell me that you don’t believe in other worlds beyond our perception. Creating imaginary landscapes are my way of exploring these strange panoramas that I cannot perceive with my eyes

The painting above is a castle guarding a hill at sunset overlooking a Great Lake. In my imagination it spins multidimensionally with an alternative coliseum-like structure both fighting for existence. The shadowy figure in the foreground is me, of course, taking it all in on a snowy evening. I imagine this is inspired from my recent visit to the deep-snowy upper peninsula of Michigan overlooking Lake Superior.
