Age of Anxiety

Digital paintings on brass and aluminum

An Age of Anxiety breaks our routines, disrupts our certainties, unlinks our roots and upsets our carefully laid plans. Familiar patterns are lost and the red of anger fills our daily lives.  These images are meant to shake us out of our placid acceptance of what once was, and wake us up to the inequalities, insufficiences, and outrages that now define our age.
