The Acrobats are balancers - they are contstantly trying to stay erect while the ground shakes and shifts. That's a metaphoric role they play in American Cirque.
I am working this year on a body of work that personifies America as acrobats, jugglers, Ringmasters, and balancing acts. Right now, I am working on studies for the characters in these scenes. The sketchbooks are taking shape and I am thinking of taking this to the level of a graphic novel. But right now, I just want to paint. And I am working to find my voice. I would love it if you would follow my progress here. Feel free to comment!
