EFFLORESCENT EXPLORATION
A Series
The vigor of the pursuit of creative passion has always fascinated me. There is a wild sense of adventure that accompanies the exploration of philosophy, craft, and art. Each of my pieces celebrates an individual I personally know and the fascination that drives their creative minds. The individuals in this series have all captivated me when they expound upon how simple hobbies have become a part of who they are. I not only want to praise them as creative people, but I also want to celebrate and explore the passions in which they hold. With this, I also want to display how these creative devotions set humanity apart from the rest of life on earth. Passions are what make us human.
