The importance of this piece is primarily that it’s my first significant work. It’s an image and feeling that I saw in my mind during a short period of insomnia caused primarily by lingering physical pain and when the mind was racing with various thoughts that had never before been experienced at such a crazy level. Thoughts that are not all dark I might add. It’s the piece that inspired a desire to be creative in a whole new way, and that is to paint. I do not however see this piece as a direction that all other works will go…at least I hope not.

I think it is important for artwork to be able to evoke emotion from it's audience. This one does and speaks to me in a painful way. How does it speak to you?
