Will I outlive this artwork?
Will this artwork outlive me?

The original CENTURY project is autobiographical. Creating art and experiencing art is the core of my life, and CENTURY is my homage to 20th Century artists. Its a synthesis of their ideas.

CENTURY 2052 brings the endeavor to the 21st Century. Its released as 50 unique artworks, one for each year since I was born. The artwork transitions from life to death at 6:44pm EST on October 20th 2052.

This isn"t a commercial or public release. Its a gift to others who have shaped the world of art that I inhabit.
