Periodic Table: Elements

We are made of elements yet we are more than the sum of our parts. We exist as beings composed of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen... but is a soul composed of these elements also? Are our thoughts and feelings built of chemical elements, if so what do they look like?

I started these paintings as a way to find out what my eye/ mind sees as interesting/satisfying. Each painting was an open question to be answered as best I can with paint. What sense of beauty we hold inside can only be revealed through the act of creation.
