The works in Cannibal Fare revisited visual elements from my work over the last thirty years and recombined them in new ways.  Some of the works in the series were actually painted over older works. 

The blending of images and faces at different scales and colors creates a visual rhythm that encourages the viewer to create their own narrative about the works meaning.  Since the majority of the visuals appear in earlier works, the shuffling of scale and context blend their original intention and open the possibility of infinite interpretation.

In Hannibal's Heir, the bones on the left are based on a photograph I took in the catacombs of Paris and also appeared in the works Nefertiti from genomic in 2007 and December 29 from The Days in 2018.  The eye to the right originally appeared in Landmark from the Apollo 2 series of 2012.
