This piece exhibits Logan’s philosophies and my perspective of humility and holiness. It was a collaborative effort with Logan and Kristen whom I met on the streets of Santa Ana. Our art-making time (and relationship) was cut short by the police who abruptly forced us to split up and vacate the area we were creating. The writings and diagrams are Logan’s work and ideas and the portraits are by my own hand.
In the tent series, I am addressing the tents and encampments that appear on sidewalks and abandoned lots as temporary shelter for those who feel it is their best option. At best we overlook these sites and at worst we complain or scoff. But what if every time we saw a tent we realized it represents a person with a story that is likely suffering and teetering toward the end of their life?
