7 Layer Era

7 Layer Era is the collection of my past seven series compiled into one study. Each series is an independent study through color, shape, depth, and movement in my unique impasto style process of thick layering and thin staining. This exploration of process lead me to construct a model I call Humanity's Sustainable Infinite. In my model each series represents a "layer", these layers make up the mechanics from two states of existence; reality (physical state of existence) and subconscious ( cognitive state of existence). The works become an abstracted blueprint that has been documented in my recently published book, One Ton Goldfish: In Search of the Tangible Dream. In this book, I give a detailed account of how my works evolved into the understanding for Humanity's Sustainable Infinite by re-experiencing the process that lead me to each series.
