Collecting Witnesses by Johannes XIV:
The Witnesses stand as visual testaments to observation, memory, and consequence. They examine how the true constitution of people, systems, and societies are revealed over time. Human constructs influence patterns of repetitive destruction. These pieces become records of behavior. Mirrors of the souls absorbed into the system.
Time relentlessly both obscures and uncovers layered human truths.
History is watching…

She is wise, experienced, and graceful beyond the years of her depths…
She is an exploration of form and depth.
A culmination of the obsession with painting expressionist profiles of faces whilst sitting among noisy public spaces. As every layer of collage, paint, and resin is added, so too is a single white brushstroke facial form line. Her face floats among the depths. Each layer reflects something new while burying bits of history.

"Shadow of Elegance"
Mixed Media Collage, Acrylic Paint,
Recycled 3D Textiles, Glass Fragments,
Deep Resin Finish on Canvas
An icon of fashion glances longingly out the night's window. The inspired flame of her example leads the moth towards freedom. Shadows are cast across this unknown face. Beauty remains a judgment of how we are perceived. Yet, she refuses to let the darkness shroud her way; her path is destiny.

"Industrial Waste"
Mixed Media Collage, Acrylic Paint,
Recycled 3D Textiles, Glass Fragments,
Deep Resin Finish on Canvas
Oxidized beauty rises from decay.
A hidden visage ebbs and flows within the metal framework, appearing less painted than unearthed. Patina, rust, copper, and industrial texture become evidence of transformation, a surface shaped by pressure, memory, and time.
The metal breathes.
It bends beneath the will of metamorphic change.
What was rigid becomes fluid. What was discarded becomes sacred.
This piece lives between machinery and myth, decay and preservation, structure and soul.
