-Born to Walk Alone- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts serpentine scaly creatures - snakes or dragons - twining around each other in a hostile dance, over an abstract mountainous landscape. In animation, these creatures would come to life and do exactly that! Who will be the last one standing, and ‘walk’ (or slither) away from this fight? |

-Carnivale I & II-
by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts amorphous shapes that can be anything you imagine; in the artist’s mind, it evokes a whimsical big-top circus tent or an attraction at a carnivale, and the feeling of child-like wonder and giddy anticipation as you await the spectacle to come. Each piece is a gradient of color, with a painted texture that evokes the look and feel of taffy, ice cream, or candy-coloured cloud formations. |

-Cassiopeia- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a fantastical landscape, possibly in an alternate dimension, where the geography is uncertain and the laws of gravity have been thrown out the window. What is sky, what is sea, and what is volcanic earth? Are we way up above looking down at a coastline and an archipelago of islands below, or are we looking at a range of active volcanoes looming in the distance? Are those the branches of a tree growing upside-down from underneath the pool of lava, or are its roots somehow blooming with pale flowers? This may all be the daydream of an ancient scribe, pondering the heavens above, and writing in the corner of their parchment scroll a single word: ‘Cassiopeia’, the mythological queen who angered the gods of the sea. |

-Change it Up- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts whimsical shapes, arranged in some alternate geometric dimension. The feeling of this image evokes in the artist’s mind a symphony orchestra playing an upbeat, cheerful tune. When this painting was finished and was turned this way and that, the composition seemed to change - lending to its title! |

-Colour Me- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract - or, in the center, not so colorful - depicts what looks like a stained-glass window, with black-and-white shapes bursting forth from its center. When the artist was coloring the different sections, she felt the strange desire to leave the middle section blank - like in a coloring book, allowing the viewer to imagine colors of their own choosing! The contrast between the colorful, smooth undulating waves of the background and the unruly, monochromatic spikes evoke feelings of creativity, inspiration and rebelliousness; this star is daring to be different and stand out from the crowd! |

-Dream Vortex- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts shapes and random themes, swirling about to create some kind of fantastical landscape of the subconscious mind: in this corner is a moon, in another an arid mountain range overlooking desert sand; here is a pretty flower (or two); in the center a verdant valley, coiled around a blue-blue sky like a marble, cradled in an unfurling scroll; the stems and leaves of alien plants reach out; here is a patch of starry sky; flowering branches grow at the beginning of spring (or is it the end, and the blooms are wilting and falling away?). Yet despite all the chaos, the image is strangely tranquil, meditative and serene; it gives the viewer a sense of inner peace, as they contemplate nature and its connection to the world within… |

-Dreams Never Touch the Earth- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts a chain of hearts, stretching across a landscape of segmented patterns of forest green, watery blue, and earthy gold, which could represent stones and precious metals. In the artist’s mind, the hearts symbolize feelings of connectedness between people, even if they do not know each other directly; as well as the love and imagination flowing though and between them, like the veins and circulatory system of each individual, which ultimately bind them together as one. In the animation, these hearts glow and beat, with a background of ambient sounds that evoke the experience of underwater deep-diving. |

-Every Move You Make- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts a series of gyroscopic shapes that resemble eyeballs; are they part of some mysterious, robotic clockwork mechanism? A surveillance system, watching your every move? And if so, do the eyeballs just impassively observe, or do they have thoughts, feelings, and judgements of their own? In the animation, these eyeballs move and blink in a wall of glowing light and shadow, to the clicking, hissing, buzzing, and clunking sounds of gears… |

-Forging Resonance- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts an alien landscape, inspired by science fiction, where volcanoes sit upon spindly rock legs to form a bridge across a valley, where a river of lava flows out to the bioluminescent sea, without burning the verdant greenery on its banks. Cresting the sea is a companion magenta planet with a small moon, far from the larger moon, glowing higher and brighter in the sky. Are the features of this world a natural occurrence? Or has some unknown intelligence harnessed the elements and resonant forces of nature, shaping and reforging them according to some unknown design? |

-Give Me Some Rope- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts a sun, its rays beaming down upon a melting, oozing landscape of color and a pattern like a woven net of rope. In the animation, the red sparks that begin as part of the sunbeams turn white and blue, evoking snow, hail and raindrops, as if the sky is challenging - or attempting to destroy - the rope net with different kinds of sunny and stormy weather. In the artist’s mind, this image evokes feelings of resilience and endurance, as we brave the elements and forces of nature which assail us. |

-Had to Perish Twice- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts the clash between fire and water, two opposing forces of nature, over a background of greenery. In the animation, we see that the fate of the greenery might well be doomed twice over: should the flame prevail, it shall burn. The water fights fire with a shower of hail, which will fall upon the greenery and kill it with a chilling blanket of frost. Only once the ice is melted by the heat can it become water once more, and revive the greenery anew. The title is a line from Robert Frost’s poem ‘Fire and Ice’. |

-Island Vibes- by Clayton Bryant Young This subdued abstract is a field of subtle browns and cool blues, of lighter and darker shade, forming gentle waves and, if one looks closely, a shape that bears a subtle resemblance to the outline of The Big Island - the largest island of the Hawaiian chain - as seen from above. In the artist’s mind, this image evokes the mellow tranquility of island life, especially during the hours surrounding dawn and dusk, just before the Hawaiian sun rises to illuminate all with a golden light, or just after it retires for a restful night. |

-Life Under the Sea- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a crowded gathering of the diverse marine life that can be found off the shores of the Hawaiian Islands. The original painting upon which this image is based was donated to the Hilo Medical Center, in order to bring much-needed smiles and cheer to the sick and injured children receiving care in the center. As patients and visitors pass by, they would be greeted by a large painting, which offered them the following challenge: can you identify all the fish and other sea creatures in this image? |

-Mars Rebirth- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts strange rock and wave formations, all forming portal-like keyhole arches, rolling across the surface of a foreign world: but is this planet so very far from our own? In the artist’s mind, this image is a whimsical, surreal depiction of Earth’s nearest planetary neighbor, the red planet of Mars, after it has been terraformed - with vegetation and bodies of liquid water - in order to sustain human, animal and floral life. |

-Mechanism of Nature-
by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a surreal collage of shapes and landscapes, symbolizing the different connected ‘spheres of influence’ that form the mechanism of nature - not only in our world, but perhaps in others yet to be discovered and explored. Observe in the top left corner, a view of a familiar earth-like environment: on the side opposite, an alien mountain range, glowing eerie green under a starless sky. Black holes gather along the bottom edge. Left of center, trees and ferns grow through and around parchment scrolls, upon which intelligent beings can inscribe their knowledge and their discoveries regarding the workings of the universe; to the right, the fires and gears of industry, surmounted by what could be a shell, a fin, or the centurion-like helm of an alien creature. |

-Moonlit Journey- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a lone canoe, without any visible occupants, drifting along the surface of tranquil moonlit waters, off the shore of a volcanic island; in the bottom right corner, two paddles for the canoe are crossed in an almost heraldric fashion to complete the design. The original painting was bought from a Kona gallery for a private collection, just days after it was finished. The image of ‘Moonlit Journey’ was licensed by the Big Island Visitor’s Bureau to promote tourism to the islands for a period of five years, and featured as the cover image on an issue of Hawaiian Airlines’ in-flight magazine Ke Ola (there was a multi-page feature article about the artist and his family within that same issue). |

-Never Promised You- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts a bouquet of roses, two of which arch over to form the shape of a heart, under a blue sky dotted with white clouds; however, while such a thing would normally symbolize love, the observant viewer can see signs of trouble: the black-and-blue roses, which form the heart (itself a forlorn purple, rather than a happy red or pink) are releasing dewdrops that evoke the look of falling tears; the rose stems have not been pruned of thorns, and around the thorny base are pools of blood-red; and the leaves, while half-green, are also half-withered with orange. |

-Orbis Alia- by Clayton Bryant Young This moody, atmospheric abstract depicts three glowing spheres, which may be moons… or something else. Patrolling ghost-lights, or a haunting trio of will-o-wisps, perhaps? They overlap or drift across the landscape, changing the color of the rocky peaks as they go, dancing between valleys tinged with lights of red and blue. Could this be another world, a mirror-realm of light and shadow, where beings of magick and mystery reside? |

-Pass Me Up For Dead- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts a rainbow-hued cluster of flowers - one large, the others smaller - which almost resemble butterflies in appearance; however, these lovely flowers are either growing in a harsh, inhospitable desert under a bright sun and ominous grey clouds, or they are engulfed in red and orange fire, pillars of smoke rising from them as they burn. In either case, they are not long for this world; in the animation, the main flower wilts before our eyes, as we hear the ambient sounds of crackling fire and the howling of both wind and beast. |

-Pouring Rain- by Clayton Bryant Young This atmospheric, surreal abstract depicts a full moon, overlooking a misty blue waterfall. The water seems to be pouring over steps or terraced stone, but these cannot be seen in the impenetrable mist; perhaps they are invisible, or perhaps the water is free-flowing through a dream-like space. Where does this moon and waterfall exist? Is it the source, like in some myth or children’s tale, of the rain which falls upon the earth? |

-Rings of Power- by Audrey Bryann Young This colorful abstract depicts multi-hued flame-like shapes, rising up through overlapping rings of gold; in the artist’s mind, it evokes imagery of spectacle and competition, such as in an illusionist’s act or the olympic games. In the animation, the rings vibrate in a rising sequence as the flames glow, flash and spark, until at last the energy becomes too much for the rings to take: they shatter and fall apart, dropping out of the frame and, presumably, into a broken heap. |

-Spirals in Forms- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract is one of the artist’s earliest forays into the use of non-representational swooping shapes, jewel-toned colored gradients and jagged tears of striking white (inspired by experimenting with bits of torn paper), which comprise his signature art style and can be seen as features in his paintings even to this day. Spiral in Forms is a collage of these shapes, arranged like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. |

-Starlit Journey- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a spaceship rocket launch, off of a tropical coast, during the evening hours; a palm tree watches from across a body of tranquil water, all lit by the glow of the rocket’s engines, the full moon, and the gentle glinting of the Southern Cross constellation in the sky. This image was commissioned from the artist by the Florida International University to be adapted as a large glass-tile floor mosaic in the entryway of the Stocker AstroScience Center (copyright retained by the artist). |

-Tequila Sunset-
by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a symbolic collage of the Colorado landscape. From left to right: a waterfall, such as exists at Seven Falls; a planet with two moons, representing the foray into space science; a blue lake under an even bluer sky; an underground cavern; the Columbine flower; a gorge with sheer cliffs, with a snow-capped peak in the distance; and finally the skull of a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Looming over all are the mountains of Pikes Peak, the sun behind it turning the sky red, orange and pink, like a tequila sunrise… except this view is facing west, so it must be a ‘tequila sunset’. |

-The Navigator-
by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a Polynesian canoe sailing a stormy sea at night, guided by the constellation known as ‘Maui’s Fishhook’. This piece was the inspiration for a second painting on this subject and theme, commissioned by Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii - supported by the University of Hawaii at Hilo - installed as a large (14-ft) glass-tile floor mosaic in the entryway. The tiles for the stars of Maui’s Fishhook were backed with real gold-leaf foil, donated by the tile company Bisazza, so that they would shine during Lahaina Noon - a twice-annual event when the sun would be directly overhead, shining through a circular skylight, to illuminate the entirety of the mosaic below. ‘Voyage of the Navigator’ is the title of the second painting (distinguished from the original ‘The Navigator’ by the inclusion of a snowcapped island and the moon) and hangs in the Imiloa conference room. |

-The Nursery- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a surreal composition, symbolizing the creation of stars, planets and galaxies in outer space; cradling these newborn creations is a strange plant, growing in an alien landscape, which also supports eggs representing life. The image contains elements familiar from other paintings by the artist, such as the portal/keyhole rock arches from ‘Mars Rebirth’, and a sky color scheme reminiscent of the one found in ‘The Navigator’. |

-The Other Side- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful, moody, atmospheric abstract depicts three red amanita muscaria (fly agaric) mushrooms, growing from a hole in the ground, under a lunar eclipse or dark new moon; the largest mushroom almost appears to be nodding its head toward the other side of a deep chasm in the ground. We are given the sense that this scene may not be of a place on earth, or even in this more familiar mundane reality, due to the eerie underground lighting and spooky purple sky. |

-The Prophecy- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful, moody and atmospheric abstract depicts a surreal collage of elements: a sweeping cliff crowned with green grass; a swooping arm of fiery red-orange-yellow reaching out to cradle what might be a moon, planet, pearl or egg; also reaching out to touch this white sphere is what may be roots or a tree branch, but is positioned in the manner of a lightning bolt; below it a parchment scroll unfurls, surrounded by elemental ribbons. All of this is composed over a dark midnight-blue backdrop that may represent water or sky. In the artist’s mind, the painting evokes the feeling of a vision or a portentous dream, hence the title of ‘The Prophecy’. |

-Time to Prey- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful underwater scene depicts a reddish-orange octopus menacing - or being menaced by - a yellow-green eel; sea urchins, sea-anemones and jellyfish hover on the perimeter, unbothered because of their own poisonous defenses; meanwhile the coral and a seastar hang out beyond the fray, a hermit crab hides in his shell with only his eyes visible to watch the impending clash unfold, and two fish make a run for it together. |

-Tria Prima- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a surreal collage of elements and, possibly, an alien world or dimension: in the lower-left is a black hole sun, overlooking a portal/keyhole shaped rock formation and a body of water colored a dark and murky purple; in the top-right is a dark red sun or planet, overlooking a similar but more brightly-lit landscape. The third element referenced by the title - Latin for ‘Three Primes’ - is a blue and white marblized sphere in the bottom right, surrounded by blue waves. In the center is a primordial reddish flower, bookended by two scrolls and seeming to look into a light piercing through dusky clouds. In the artist’s mind, this image evokes the feeling of esoteric studies and alchemy. |

-Vision of the Big Island- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts The Big Island - the largest island of the Hawaiian chain - as seen from above, in a collage of other symbols of the island: the face of a tiki god, which can be seen carved upon wooden statues in the City of Refuge, though in vivid gold, blue and red as if roaring to life; an orchid flower; palm tree leaves; a waterfall, such as can be found at Rainbow Falls; a bird-of-paradise flower, and lava flowing. |

-Wall Flowers I- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts an arrangement of flowers, leaves and ferns, which the artist gathered from his own backyard when he lived with his family in Hawaii. These are not the flowers that get the most attention and time in the spotlight, such as the hibiscus (the state flower), the bird-of-paradise or even the larger, more intricate types of orchids; these are the small, often-ignored flowers that grow wild along every roadside on the island, but are nonetheless beautiful when you look at them up close: hence, ‘wall flowers’. |

-Wall Flowers II- by Clayton Bryant Young This subdued, almost-monochromatic abstract - with just the barest hint of pink and green - depicts an arrangement of plants, which the artist gathered from his own backyard when he lived with his family in Hawaii. These are not the ‘stand outs’, such as the hibiscus (the state flower), the bird-of-paradise or the orchid; these are types of vegetation that grow wild along every roadside on the island, but are nonetheless beautiful when you look at them up close: hence, ‘wall flowers’. |

-Wall Flowers III- by Clayton Bryant Young This colorful abstract depicts a trio of bright golden-orange flowers, growing out of the center of what might be itself a blue flower of some sort. In the artist’s mind, these flowers look very cheery and eager to embrace the sunlight of a new day; they might also represent his wife and two daughters.These flowers are the subject of a painting that is meant to be displayed on a wall: hence, ‘wall flowers’. |
