Artwork Description

A hundred people
Every day a hundred new
Each one insane
Weird, different, beautiful
Yet the same, all the same

Maybe that’s part of insanity
What helps define it
That you have to act the crowd
See a hundred people
pretending To be flowers and wolves

They stand in isles before they know what for
Searching for the perfect shadow
In a light that only exists in their demented skull
See a hundred people
A thousand if you want
Choosing pain and saying they don’t want it

Look into each one’s eyes
And you will see your own run away
As if your reflection crept up on you
Don’t let the crazies see you’re one of them
A veil of sanity
I see a million people
A million and one
Through an empty window

These drawing are as much as a result of you than they are creations by my hand. Each one has a origin, a personal meaning and purpose for myself. But equally they have a relationship with every viewer.
​
Only you will see them the way you do, whether it is a 5 second flirt or a life long relationship they exist so you can create your own story.
​
My work deals a lot with the unity not perceived in everyday life. The always prevalent relativity in this beautiful dance we strut till the day the song stops for the last time.
​
Enjoy the work for it doesn't exist without you
