“The limited media exposure that this issue receives was enough to stir my interest in the tragedy that is Darfur, Our country is so distracted by misguided foreign policy and self-indulgent, vapid media icons. It’s a shame that our interests and resources are not better directed towards the world community. It’s a privilege and an honor to have the time and freedom to be able to contribute to the amplification of this important issue.”

Terrell Moore
Moore’s process of creating, deconstructing and recreating is the cycle of nature portrayed in his work. The application of paint, layering it with paint thinner and water, spraying it and washing it off until the desired image appears. Often the image is a spiritual or cosmic symbol, planted or placed on a background of rich soil, clay, or sand. As the earth consists of layers so do Moore’s “paintings” and the close observer will detect text scribbled into the paint.
