Split the Atom

Oil on Linen · 13x21 inches · 2015

A head split and split again, fanned out like a deck of cards: skin, then muscle, then skull, and at the very center a blue coil of whatever-it-is that does the looking. Split the atom and you get energy; split the self and you get this — layer after layer, each one wearing the one beneath. The face is a mask all the way down, until suddenly it isn't.

13 by 21 inches. Oil on Linen. 2015.

Oil painting of a symmetrical cross-section of a human head showing layered anatomical slices — outer skin, red muscle tissue, white skull, and a blue brain form at center — mirrored on both sides against a pale gray background.
