ARTIST STATEMENT
"This anatomy series continues the human body themes explored in my last series about plastic surgery and artificial body parts. The human body is inspirational, having been the blueprint for many inventors, artists, engineers, architects and scientists. Every aspect of the human body has been perfectly engineered to comprise the ideal organism. Not a single cell is wasted; each and every one has a specific purpose.
The body's amazing muscular system has inspired me to create paintings which
capture the overlapping and interlacing muscle tissue generating the intricate muscular
landscapes. These paintings are juxtaposed with others of body diagrams that depict
the complex systems, including the digestive, nervous, skeletal, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory and muscular systems...all perfectly evolved, layered over each other, working together to create nature's masterpiece."
