ArtPrize – “The worlds largest art competition”
“Herd’ is a painting comprised of four individual panels grouped together, that highlight the interactions between, not only the materials and processes, but the subjects, as well. The dynamics of a large, moving group of animals is in itself vast, complicated, and beautiful. I like to think of my work as a challenge to the viewer. I showcase my process to the degree that every piece of the “puzzle” is available. It’s up to the viewer to decide how much they would like to invest in making a connection and figuring out the “how?” and the “why?”. I’ve had this particular piece in mind for over a year. And I have been waiting for ArtPrize to take it to fruition. For me it’s all about my work connecting with a diverse audience… there is no better fit than ArtPrize.
