INSIGHT 5 paintings

These paintings really should be seen in person. Experienced.  As recorded below, the depth, scale, texture, material, and process are all absent. (Are you familiar with Magritte’s “This is Not a Pipe.” painting?) Ergo, come to my studio. In transforming my physical paintings into these digital cousins, I have added an audio track to their DNA.
