Paintings- mixed media: Kumasi Market

Kumasi Market, oil on wood door 74" X 30"
Most think of a door as a restraint or barrier. I have been thinking of doors as a gateway, portal, or vestibule. I want to visualize transformative ideas so that one changes after passing through or consuming them. You are not what you own. In this economy it is important to realize most people on this earth do not have electricity or running water. The Kumasi market is far from what most imagine when conjuring images of Whole Foods or your local grocery store, but it is alive with sights, sounds and smells.
