42" x 48" Oil on wood (2009).
Armor depicts the figure being the armor, representing protection for its bearer. The figure in the painting is portrayed as a shell, ‘eyes are the window to the soul’, removing them creates a mysterious void like atmosphere that adds to the sporadic abstracted backgrounds representing moments in time. Furthermore, by removing the eyes/soul, it is left to the interpretation of the viewer of the figure’s true intent and purpose to its possessor. Determining the purpose of the armor can through time be left to one who decides to bear it. As with life you decide to bear and choose the people in your life that will affect the outcome of molding oneself.
