"Such is the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world, small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”-J.R.R. Tolkien

This series is part of my work which addresses political and cultural happenings in the United States of America. The stories and myths of a culture convey a sense of place and a sense of the people who inhabit that place. In this way, visual art that interacts with a story enters a narrative sphere where it must encounter the local.
