Echo (day five)

89.5 X 70 inches, Colored Pencil and Graphite on Shaped Paper

This is the fifth work in an ongoing series of twenty-six pieces, the Butterfly Series, documenting the narrative account of an individual’s passage through time as he encounters various physical, psychological, emotional, and chemical obstacles. Each sensory element that he comes in contact with—whether a consumer product, surreal image, real or imagined person, or location from his memory, drug, or medication—affects how his life unfolds, one sentence at a time. Like a Markov Chain, his life accumulates meaning through random yet predictable experiential moments, each a consequence of what came before.
