Refreshments.
The 45
images in the “It’s Happening”
series are an abstract
interpretation of the esoteric
process of reproduction. Included
in this theme are concepts of
fertilization, growth,
transformation, decay and death
that are demonstrated through
invented life forms and sometimes
their life cycles. The colored
ribbons in all the images function
as the unexplainable energy which
enables the reproductive process
to mysteriously begin and
continuously grow. The black
ribbons assist the reproductive
process on its journey and guides
it past many obstacles during its
many evolutionary stages.
The
images are titled with frequently-used
cliches obtained from the American
vernacular to appropriately explain each
drawings reproductive narrative. The
narratives work as symbolic
representations for pedestrian social
issues that permeate human cultures and
require relentless engagement to manage
and sustain civilization all as a result
of the reproductive process.
