The Mario Veda

The Mario Veda, a series of works executed between March of 2004 and May of 2006,  illustrates what I believe to be an evolution in my intellectual and emotional development, and may represent some of the self knowledge I gained  while living in Springfield, Illinois. Initially a reference to a set of characters from video games on the Nintendo platform, the characters quickly evolved, becoming stand-ins for particular situations and experiences. I’ll leave the particulars to your imagination.
