Symbols

"Symbols" by TOM COFFIN

"Symbols" is a series of paintings 
to puzzle the mind. In our day to 
day lives we are confronted with text 
and symbols which represent millions of 
expressions. These paintings play
with the symbolism of symbols. The rough 
texture of the material contrasts with 
the symmetrical, and almost mechanical
quality of the image. We demand order from 
the abstract, what does it mean?
