More of the Copaesthetic

I've named the most recent body of work that I have been doing the "Copaesthetic" It is a Portmanteau or a combination of two words into one, that I made up. It combines the word Copacetic, meaning very satisfactory, pleasant, or agreeable. The second word is Aesthetic, meaning a work of artistic value. I suppose to me it means that in my work I am looking for a visual image that can convey accord and harmony. 

I always hope that the viewer can find piece of themselves in my work. I hope that when examining this piece we can all recognize the boisterous facades and guises we all use to conceal our inner nature.
