FUN AT WORK

re-stool

pinwheel imagination

i have been experimenting with found objects lately and these are some works I've produced. pure aesthetic, combining soft with light and dark with hard, truth with agony and lies with happiness. all seems alike yet falls into the category of imagination of being similar. whatever! at the end of the day its ART and will always remain that way. imagination to imagine an image.
