Description
"Learning how to Play Baltobian Toss" is one example of an instance where an idea came out of a rough design and not the other way around. The idea of having aliens teaching humans how to participate in a game of theirs came out of a few rough sketches that I'd made picturing the plants that the figures in the picture are standing on. These drawings led me to imagine a composition involving a number of figures standing in a circle on top of the plants, and that developed into what ended up being this painting.
While I never went as far as to define all the rules of the game that the aliens are teaching the humans, it is obvious that the game requires its players to handle what's thrown their way while maintaining balance. Sometimes more than one thing gets thrown a players way, but if they remain focused and maintain balance they'll be able to stay in the game.

There are many different "worlds" that exist within our human perception. These worlds exist physically, figuratively, conceptually and culturally, and our understanding of them is constantly changing and evolving as we each gain new experiences and learn more about the different worlds around us. It is inevitable at different points in our lives that we'll be faced with entering worlds that are outside of what we already know. This could mean beginning a new career path, moving to a new city, joining a new club, adapting to a new culture, or graduating from school and entering the larger world.
"Weirdos of Another Universe" is a series of paintings where I've decided to explore the “what ifs” of an imaginary situation where a small population of humans suddenly exist within an alien world. This series is about the feeling of being an outsider after having entered a new world, and gradually figuring out how to find your way in. This narrative sits at the core of the series, and each painting serves to either further explore this narrative or to further build the world within which it is taking place.
