Code Talker, 2023
Acrylic on canvas
20x16
 
Code Talker evokes the mysterious language of birds, projected into the cosmos. The subject is messaging and the painting is built from images meant to be understood as reoresenting something other than themselves: desktop objects make a city skyline and a satin drape stretching across the canvas stands in for the sky. With subtle surrealism and attention to detail, this painting invites contemplation of the natural world and our place within it.
