GENESIS
IN THE BEGINNING I created a series of mixed-media collages portraying icons of the music world. These figures have been canonized into a church of my own making, a “Communion of Saints,” based on their worship status in the public eye as well as my own. Their music has kept me company in my countless hours as a visual artist. It has given me inspiration and connection to something untouchable, yet deeply felt. To this day, music continues to transport me to far away places and lead me back home.
Patron Saints of Rock is not exclusive to one music genre, but rather, inclusive to many. It is my attempt to share with others my admiration for the creators of the music which has stirred my soul; my attempt to evoke in static, two dimensions, what is inherently linear, dynamic and fleeting—and bound to a time signature. It is also my hope to honor the legacy of these artists’ contributions. Artists who have moved mountains!
