Complicated Beauty
There is beauty in accepting change: Learn, Live, Obsess, Appreciate, Breathe, Respect, Desire, Hope, Revere. Shelter inside if necessary.
You must be willing to look. More frequently we turn away.
The artwork in Complicated Beauty displays an artist’s curiosity. Anatomy, mortality, change, and perspective are explored through a variety of subjects and media.
