There’s a central theme in my mind that drives much of my more artsy work: the unseen.
I started an abstract project a few months ago based on this concept, and this is part two of that project. This is probably going to be something that I continue to develop, but I thought I’d bring you...

Thoughts From the Wilderness
Across the desert regions of the American Southwest there stretches a wilderness still unclenched by the fingers of urban modernity. A place where you can look for miles and never see another human being.
