"UNDERWORLD I" is the first in what I hope will become a series of "UNDERWORLD" paintings. When I use the word "underworld" I am referring to many tiny worlds that exist all around us, and even upon and within us. I am interested in the flora and fauna that live in these tiny worlds "under" our normal field of vision. The things that one must hunt for in the grass, in the pools of water, or even with a microscope. The small worlds of life that exist in abundance, but which we ignore in our ever more self consumed "life styles".

This subject for my work is the obvious evolution of my prior works, such as "CRUSTACEAPODS"( http://www.vomitus.com/museum/NewVmmPages/crustaceapods.html) and my "MICROBIA" paintings. This one is subtitled "INSECTUS"
