Gothic Revival Dream Palace is an image generated from the artist's imagination, using constructive drawing techniques. The title references the Gothic arches on the right side of the image, which reflect the artist's theological upbringing. The undulating tubular forms at the center of the piece suggest a novel machine, symbolizing the artist's hope for a future where technology and faith can coexist harmoniously. The repeated forms draw the viewer's eye toward the center, the horizon, and the sky. The subtle interplay between interior and exterior spaces in this piece represents the artist's exploration of the balance between his personal freedom of thought and the cherished traditions of the faith in which he was raised.
