Human beings are conditioned and constrained by family, education, society and nationality to see themselves through the lens of their cultural, religious, gender or sexual identity. Carl’s interest in epigenetics and his experience with palliative care informs his practice of portraying human beings as morphogenic energy fields. In these paintings Carl depicts human beings as energy fields made up of a combination of trillions of chemicals, hormones, neurotransmitters and bacteria.
