This piece represents a collision of paint and found materials that contradict yet embrace each other. It pulses with an improvised spirit of punk with jagged edges and sharp points that are polished with pleasing color. I like to think of these tiny clusters of ingredients as a mini riot disguised as a celebration. Like certain creatures of nature, the assemblage draws you in to come close and then reaches out and bite you. It also represents a decorative brooch that is worn with unscrupulous honor.
