These pieces are designed to age as humans age. The resin used to envelop the image is intended to act as a visual metaphor for memory. The image represents a thought or event within the mind, as time passes the crisp memory begins to blur and details fade and change. The resin will begin to fog after ten to fifteen years; the color will shift and as more time passes the image will become less and less visible. Eventually the resin itself may crack or separate from the substrate, thus completing the life cycle of the work. Owning this work constitutes an understanding of this cycle and an acceptance of the eventual loss. This acceptance, I hope, will provide a subtle insight to the inevitable facts of our own mortality. Most images are mounted to small boxed with lights. The dark cloudy nature doesn't allow the embedded image to be seen unless it is backlit.
