Visual elements expressed during his later career can be discerned here at the outset.<br/><br/>From the artist's mission statement : "It is true to a certain extent; I have been copying Clarence Schmidt my whole career trying to make a total encyclopedic vision that has no parameters and no end. My work is marked by events and is a mirror of the mind that is building and falling apart having a logic but close to chaos refusing to stay still for the camera and giving one a sense of heaven and hell simultaneously."<br/><br/>RARE.
