Another large painting done in house paint. About 5 feet high. Done in collaboration with Alex. I will exhibit these paintings for 1 night before we paste them up as street art.
Central figure is a personification of time and death represented by her visible bones where shadow falls on her half youthful body, the blood filled hour glass shaped like the symbol for Infinity and the roman numerals running form 1-12.

Collaboration with midmar.
Large painting in house paint and charcoal, to be pasted up as street art. The poem at the bottom is the epitaph of Alan Turing a mathematician who killed himself by injecting an apple with arsenic and eating it. The birdlike shape scratching his dead body represents religion via the holy spirit. The idea behind the painting is that religion is detrimental to knowledge. Inspired by a talk on ted. You can watch it here.
Alan Turing’s epitaph:
Hyperboloids of wondrous Light
Rolling for aye through Space and Time
Harbour those Waves which somehow Might
Play out God’s holy pantomime
