The long black plastic stick figure with the bald head and one ear is the Lollipop Man. He travels through the world seeking balance and searching for truth. The colors reflect the stages and experiences of his journey, which becomes a metaphor for all our journeys – mine, in particular. This personal element translates into a series of plastic characters, people I’ve encountered and secrets I’ve carried. Mirrored Plexiglass is used to represent lit color fields as seen in the auras of the body. Found objects and symbols are used to represent sacred thoughts from all walks of life.
