Blackwater Pond » ArtPrize Entries

My 2020 3D ArtPrize entry is a 9ft long (non-partisan) reverse perspective illusion entitled “The Spirit of America” (come together & overcome together). It is about how we as Americans work together to overcome difficult times.

What to look for: The painting appears to move and change shape as you walk by.

In the video: The doors open and close, the striped hallways stretch, and the spirit’s face follows you. Also, the shadows from the doors move as the doors open and the planes move through the sky. If you ever see it in person, be sure to move up and down…the spirit will smile at you.

Mystery Beneath the Water…

Deep beneath the murky waters of Blackwater Pond lies an age-old mystery. When twelve-year-old Tommy swims to the bottom and never resurfaces, everyone in the small farming town believes he has drowned. Everyone, that is, except his older brother Brian. Days after the disappearance, urged on by a haunting voice, he desperately plunges himself into the dark waters. Despite overwhelming odds Brian has chosen to enter into a dangerous other-world in an effort to save his brother.

Beneath and Beyond is a fast-paced, modern day tale of fantasy, mystery and adventure. It champions the cause of Good versus the darkness of Evil in this unique and compelling story.
