I have chosen this piece as the first of many I will be sharing because it has a story behind it.
Typically my art consist of images without any real commentary or back story. I just want to create images that do not exist. I have also included a disclaimer for this piece that was posted
along with it when it was shown at the Solar Culture art gallery in Tucson, Arizona.


DISCLAIMER:
I Love you Nana
I used to spent my summers as a child with my grandparents. One evening my grandmother
prepared dinner as she always did. My grandfather and I sat as she served us. Before she could sit down to join us for dinner she began to violently remove her clothing. I sat and cried while my confused grandfather told me to stay calm and eat my frijoles. We could not figure out why Nana had replaced a dinner prayer with a naked dancing ritual. My grandfather held her while she explained a spider had crawled into her shirt.

There are things you cannot "unsee" that is why I wanted to share this image with all of you.
