The Omen is a collection of symbols, interpretations, dreams, and premonitions. The collection of prints, drawings, sculptures, paintings, and themes being presented are all interconnected, and work symbiotically as a key. The gallery show represents a transformation over a span of three years, and animates the past, present, and imminent future of my experiences here in Ithaca, NY. The Omen are pathways and snapshots to my realizations and fears, all within the context of each medium, forever chained to the existence of our never-ending story.

Moving Box Studios are located at 330 East State Street, Ithaca.
