THE ARTIST'S VOICE
Interpretation / Story
Moose reads as a study of animal symbolism and instinct, organic forms and the living natural world, surreal perception, luminosity, and altered states. The layered mixed-media surface turns image, texture, and material detail into a luminous and prismatic, organic and atmospheric atmosphere, inviting slow looking and a personal symbolic reading.
