Artist's Statement
"The Mad Hatter" is part of a series conceived for the theme “Vision 2020.” My artistic seed was the tumultuous political landscape of a big election year, yet its “chaotic structure” easily accommodates the social disturbances of the pandemic and deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Annually, the Gunnera tinctoria (aka dinosaur arugula) sheds its massive leaves and regrows quickly. Hopefully, we too will emerge from the turmoil for the bigger and better. This piece asks the particular question, “is he a mad genius or just mad?” Being abstract, it presents us with other possibilities – perhaps we see into a mirror preparing ourselves to for the personal daily challenges we all must face. Mad Hatter stands alone or can also be hung as a diptych or triptych with other Orinoco Series pieces "Re-leaf" and/or "Watershed." This “Orinoco Series” was shot at Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
