Artist's Statement
Life is a lot like a Mulligan stew with people contributing numerous different herbs, spices, vegetables, and assorted meats to the pot to create something new that everyone can enjoy. Same can be applied to works of art, namely this great and wonderous chaotic mess of art. From the variety of structural design with a simple box and chess piece entries, a hexagonal tower akin to a medieval castle, and a great crown on the very top, to the tremendous variety in artistic paintings and design scattered about both inside and out, featuring vibrant colors that appeal to the eye and astonishingly intricate images for all to enjoy. While many projects falling under the control of the group (collaboration) denote themselves to a single theme, we gave ourselves permission to reject a singular idea and rather decided to let imagination run free and rampant, giving birth towards something magnanimously wonderful. Behold the Amalgamation of Imagination!
