"Tomorrow's First Edition"
Acrylic on canvas
We are grounded in a block of immobility, caught up in our own fears about the future. We have become blind to the reality before us, and as a result our external reality is BECOMING what we read and what we fear. It is a self-fulfilling form of prophecy. I based the composition on the old religious idol reliquary images, because of the almost pious attitude that some hold to the media. Our mode of discourse has become our model of reason, a new dark age brought about by an over exposure of information.
