The State Of My Mind
Kyle Pfister
My foggy cerebrum mirrors the snake from the Garden, feeding me temptation with the promise of endless dessert. On the hunt for sweet juices, it now bends and breaks and slithers to find that rotten apple outlined with gold. It’s nothing but an urge, this seedless apple of mine. I try to claw away as the fog suddenly clears to find flakes of tart flavor coiled in my teeth.
Williams x Nordrum is a 28-year-old visual artist and student living in Phoenix, Arizona. In Williams’ early years, he started practicing graffiti in South Phoenix where he was born. This community still heavily influences him today. As he started his higher education, he began to be inspired by life drawing and how he could combine his new interests with his past influences. Williams started creating paintings and participating in exhibitions, which only made him more ambitious. As the size and subject matter of his work got larger and more grand, he adopted a go big or go home outlook. This mindset guides his journey in the arts through Phoenix College on his way to an Associate of Fine Arts.
