description:
The artist draws on knowledge from ancient civilizations to discuss mans place in the universe. Especially drawing from the Aztec myth of Quetzalcoatl, he discusses mans "finite and corporeal existence." He has used myth and mathematical principles of vectors to instead place man in the realm of infinity and to "encapsulate man in these vectors as the same quality and quantity as God... transcending [man's] all too concreteness."
