This work is a study of how nature and power rhyme.  It is a glimpse into my world of candy-colored sensual puzzles displayed on high gloss aluminum. Can I draw you in closer to feel comforted yet disturbed?  Is this science fiction? Science illustration?  The viewer is pulled in to play and explore…. and wonder if these are mirrors. 

GIRL WITH A NON-PEARL EARRING WITH TREES is my version of the 1665 Vermeer painting GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING. The girl has been rotated from the1665 position so that we are viewing what she is looking at. You are pulled in by the detail of the work, the symmetry of the trees and the fractal tattoos covering her. It is my current version of the puzzle [on high gloss aluminum].
