Warped World
Genre cover by Alan Haider
“Warped World is my trace fossil because it was over 20 years in the making and represents more about me than any other object but myself. When I initially started it I was under 20 years old. The person I was, was not prepared to finish it, but left an impression upon the canvas. Over the years it lay forgotten until the 40 year old more refined me made a collaboration with the young me, finishing the piece and leaving even more biographical information behind, because when I am dead it will have to be interpreted without me.”
