Description

Second self-portrait of the artist this one reflecting the different sides of expression and the duality of the mind inspired by The Janus Coin, a semi-fictitious coin of the Roman god Janus used in the TV series WAREHOUSE 13 to separate the consciousness and physical form of the H.G. Wells.

Artist Note: "There are times that we may feel disconnected from ourselves or are "of two minds" on any given day. We are a multi-faceted creation. This piece was meant to capture that. As a side note, WAREHOUSE 13, has been one of my favorite fun shows to watch: A secret warehouse containing many "artifacts", mostly semi-fictitious historically, and the agents who collect them and store them. The show had a very cool STEAMPUNK vibe, and the introduction of a woman H.G. Wells (the classic writer the world knows was her brother, for in that time no woman would ever be taken seriously as an explorer and writer) was brilliant and written well, and played brilliantly by the talented (and very beautiful) Jaime Murray, who also played a devious character in Dexter"
