About CrypticFragment

Artist’s Statement: "My work focuses on connections. Connections between the past & present, between different cultures, between man and nature, even between colors & forms.

I am strongly influenced by the architecture & arts of ancient civilizations, sacred spaces, native traditions of unique world cultures, & by the power of nature to reclaim what man has built.

My goal is to inspire others to be curious about the world around them, & how everything is interconnected."
