took seriously anymore by the younger generations,
jesus is more like a fashion statement than a religous icon.

life and death

apples have been associated with life all throughout history. when Christ is portrayed holding an apple it represents the second apple who bring life. Greek mythology tells of Heracles was required to pick a golden apple from the garden of hesperides tree of life. in Norse mythology the apple represents immortal life and was guarded by the gods. 'the life and death series' was inspired by the fruitful-ness of apples and how fast it rots away when it has been bitten into.

Bones 'organic forms'

2007 'jaw bone' pencil on paper

Looking at bones drawing them and trying to show texture. 

experimenting with organic forms, shadows and illusion. shadows are never really what they seem people get afraid when they see shadows sometimes as they are not what they appear to be.  i used leaves and white spray paint on black paper to see what shadows i could make. This experiment is similar to man- made vs natural.
