These are five pieces from an unfinished series that I've been working on from January to the present. About half of them are based from still life compositions. Motifs include red X's, bones, skulls, dripping, childhood toys of mine, glitter, and lyrics from contemporary popular music. Almost every piece has song lyrics on it, which also serve as the title. The strong symbols, words, and images in these paintings create interesting dialogues between different stages of my life and growth.
