Two Copulating Flesh Flies
2013

This work's small scale defies its large subject matter. Humor provides an abject site to discuss the all too sullen subject of death. This painting depicts two flesh flies copulating. Flesh flies take part in the decomposition of decaying materials. This work is an allegory of our human life cycle, depicting an awareness of its creation, as a painting, and decomposition.
