This constantly evolving conceptual piece is inspired by and dedicated to GRW. With embedded images and text, every section contains significance to both the artist and the muse. The visceral strokes made by hand, knife, tube, and brush, coupled with the texture, symbolize the unsettling feeling that comes with loss and sorrow. The numerical date directly corresponds with the number of gray lines on the canvas, counting the days that have passed since May 11, 2012. This piece can only be completed by the muse, GRW, leaving the overall composition unfinished until an unknown future date. If never finished, the canvas will eventually become completely gray.

Updates on the evolution of "G1" will be periodically posted.

After 7 years of training, and a 3 year hiatus, I have finally returned to my photographic roots.  These grainy, closely cropped images are visual interpretations of the feelings that are swirling within me. Known for my "dirty" portraits, I feel that using high contrast grainy films and filters, along with selective focus, perfectly express my artistic expression and point of view. For me, shooting only the face speaks louder than the whole figure ever could. The beginning of this series attempts to define the commonly used phrase: "The eyes are the window to the soul." When words fail, our eyes do all the talking.
This series is whole-heartedly dedicated to GRW.
