The Potentate Series
The word Potentate is defined as a being of supreme power. The works in this series represent states of psyche and spirit in moments of absolution. Depicting these states as supreme beings outside of any external context places the power and emphasis strictly on the character and nothing else. The pieces are designed to use historical iconography to conjure their traditionally associated ideas, but the symbols used are not necessarily limited by those ideas. They have the potential to take on new meaning as they are presented in new ways. Many of the intentions behind each piece are left ambiguous as the work is meant to draw an internal realization from the viewer so that the piece has an intimate impact on those who choose to give it meaning. The hand-crafted frames around each piece are the tangible and sculptural elements to the works. They relate directly to the ideas behind the art whilst referencing the ideas of shrines, gateways, and mirrors—physical manifestations of spiritual culture.
