About the Artwork:
“Mystical iconography and an emphasis on the outer world has long been a driving force in my work. Wormholes, starscapes and portals serve as monuments to something greater than myself. Through the process of making this work I attempt to share my vision of a higher power. My intention is to create simple and concise works that convey universal messages of love, loss and redemption.” – Adrian Landon Brooks
