Twenty nine years ago, I was born in Texas. Since then my life has been composed of learning, traveling and observing life and the human condition. The most important thing I learned was that experience, attention to how interactions occur and conversations take place, is the root of true understanding. This piece is part of a series dedicated to conversations I have been involved in or have eavesdropped upon. In my work, the inflection and passion of the spoken word is conceptualized in acrylic. Now, I no longer wait for my turn to speak, but instead, I listen and expose.
