Artist, American, born 1977

The image displays a complex arrangement of geometric forms and organic shapes collaged together in an abstract composition. Various elements resembling facial features such as an ear, eyes, nose, and sections of hair are interspersed with textures and colors. The artwork combines fragments that suggest a patchwork quilt with hints of animal skin patterns, vibrant feather motifs, and swirls of paint. The overall image offers a rich tapestry-like surface that blends recognizable elements with abstraction.
