This work is a representation of the blending of the outward experience of everyday waking reality and the inner life that’s connected to dreams. This body is the overlapping of the two and being repeatedly connected and disconnected. This is shown by the branches connecting and disconnecting to themselves, by one object twisting and becoming another, and by the combination of uncertainty and clarity.

CHUCK DOOMS
I started doing photo manipulation and digital painting about 7 years ago. An early diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease prompted an early retirement.
To be honest, I started playing around with my little Android phone’s painting apps. I started by taking pictures I’d taken with the phone and digitally manipulate them and add digital paint. My process has changed since I invested in a much larger tablet.
The theme hasn’t changed much. I make what appeals to me. Whatever it might be. A few years ago, I had DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) surgery. This has given me much needed control over the tremors that I experienced. I’m not cured, but it was a game changer.
I’m often reminded of a quote attributed to the late, great David Bowie;
“Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.” I hope he was right.
I took up this silly little obsession because I wanted to. I keep doing it because now I have to. I owe so much to the Wichita art community. They opened their hearts to me and made me feel a part of that community. The work you see is my open love letter to them. Thank you.
