I love the freedom and mark of the hand but also try to incorporate technical draftsmanship. My current work is titled the "Birth" series and draws a lot of inspiration from my new baby boy. I have been thinking a lot about relationships both with other people and with our environment. This series of work addresses conflict, consumption, communication, love and the newness of experience that comes with having a baby. A lot of my pieces involve the building and stacking of organic forms to create human like creatures. They are meant to be anonymous humanoid creatures that represent estrangement and also possibility. My work deals with the residual nature of relationships, how our past experiences affect our current relationships. I have been using a diptych format in some of my pieces to create a sense of communication and to illustrate different perspectives.TomHackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12187118287664381506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099551891462247847.post-91099675363057846572010-12-13T20:29:00.000-08:002010-12-13T20:29:37.650-08:00-*-<b>Trials, Temptations, Fear and Disappointment.</b><br />
