• Justin paints multiple skyscapes contained in forms that twist and overlap each other. These contorting forms mimic the behavior of thoughts and emotions when observed in the mind through meditation. These mental events are represented as skies because of the infinite variety of moods a sky can evoke. Justin’s use of color generates a visual energy, evoking an intensity which he equates with conscious awareness.
