Totems are a series of vibrant and colorful monotypes that are inspired by totem poles as in indigenous architectural posts or pillars, usually made from trees. Totems welcome, symbolize and commemorate significant legends, familial accounts and events. These monotypes void of literal messages, instead represent the welcoming pure visual power and spirituality of color. They are tall, vertical, offering homage to ancestors of modern art, and to the history of color and minimalism.
