"My latest artistic endeavors find me orbiting Earth's neigboring ally, "Lady Moon," with Her unique cultural history as a colorfully anthropomorphised entity. Moon, bearer of our greatest attributes; Moon, fructiferous Shadow suspended eternally beyond us. One aspect, "Moon As Guardian," has been particularly drawing me lately, and it's an aspect that's been prevalent throughout the breadth of man's unique occurrence; diversely mythologized into a Sacred Being with unique and mysterious powers, Moon becomes alternately Watcher, Protector, Symbol of Hidden Potency. These "Guardian Moon" images here, then, play upon this attributional inclination...and take it just a little further; perhaps to where we need them. Which moons do you respond to, and why? Sometimes our immediate attraction has more implications than we initially realize..."
