    About this ebook

    This book's purpose is to bring together examples of my artworks, poetry, photographs, and short film stills into an elegant nexus to my world (or moon) of works from 2003 to the present month. Inspiration for these comes in the form of fleeting random thoughts, dreams, and things that aren't supposed to happen.  But somehow they did happen, often with the valued collaboration and participation of some of my bizarre and creative friends.  As you will see, should you choose to do so…!  JF Whitney

      this text utilizes metaphors and symbolism to enrich the interplay between words and visual understanding. The hatchet itself transcends its physical form, becoming a symbol of conflict, destruction, and the enduring human capacity for violence. The daughter's dream of pets drifting down like snow offers a contrasting image of peace and innocence, albeit one that is fragile and potentially fleeting. The red gardenias rising from swirling sediments in Fly Society create a visually jarring juxtaposition, hinting at the seductive nature of superficiality and the darker realities lurking beneath.
