This painting is almost a pop art rendition of the phases of the moon. I have both divided the earth into 28 sections for an approximation of a month, and also divided it into four for the elements: earth, air, fire, water. Not meant to be realistic, this piece is a playful interpretation of basic concepts that have been extremely simplified and taught to us in school. How many of these “stories” have we been taught without reevaluating them?

Built up relief images.
