Artist's Note:

I have recently began making these creatures since completing my BFA at Stan State. Originally created in high school, these ambiguous tentacle figures represent non-human life through the lens of spirituality. In the highest reguards, man sees himself as a creature of God's creation. If we share this world with aliens, non-humans, how are they like us? In the realm of speculation, anything is possible. Using these creatures, I explore the possibility of alien/non-human life through a religious and philosophical lens.
