Statement from Mike about his new work:
"Totems is my newest body of work and fuses the elements of Shamanism, Graffiti, and psychedelic art. Large pieces on found crates, old hoods of cars from Navajo lands, metal street signs, and scrap wood bring the elements of street art into the gallery context, synthesizing modern expression and ancient patterns and symbology.
This new body of work delves into the human psyche and how diverse we are in our thoughts, actions, and patterns. Our totems or archetypal ways of being, are presented as hummingbirds, tigers, owls, sharks, wolves, eagles, and primates. The show is a testament to our ancient and modern psyches and the natural and urban landscapes in which we dwell. My thought was to create a compelling gallery experience that shows diversity, time, patience, and joy, all pointing towards an elevated state of being fueled by realizing our own spiritual power."
