Ducts and Illusions #7 Ed. 1 of 1

This piece is part of a series of linocut block prints that explores the intricate interplay of air ducts and impossible figures. Using a new printing technique that emphasizes negative space and interconnections between block impressions, this series expands on Escher's use of tessellation to create mesmerizing fractal universes.

Each print in the Ducts and Illusions series is a study in the stark beauty of underlying geometry, and celebrates the beauty that can be found in even the most mundane objects. This piece invites viewers to explore the hidden connections and patterns that exist all around us.

Display in any orientation.

Four-color oil multi-impression linocut on cotton fabric panel. Gallery wrap. Framing options available. 18" x 24" x 1.5" - 2023

I'm a painter, printmaker and draftsman based in the United States. My works have been widely exhibited nationally and collected internationally. I am also founder of the new ShadowBoxX Gallery in the growing arts district in Waukegan, IL - a northern suburb of Chicago.

My work is inspired by nature, urban spaces, inner journeys, absurdities, and working people. I'm also influenced by the old masters, the innovation of contemporary artists, the realms of mythology and psychology. Music, writing, mathematics, and technology are interwoven in my artistic journey.

I channel subconscious imagery from within through my artwork. I hope my works resonate with viewers, motivating them towards greater understanding, compassion and empathy.

I was formally trained in the sight/size realism technique, but I thrive on experimentation, often building my own tools to help me create my ideas.
