Statement:

STATEMENT

My work over the years has used both three-dimensional elements and painting with an ongoing interest in enlivening a minimalist vocabulary of form through texture, paint application and color. That interest has often used geometric abstraction and collaged materials, particularly found and salvaged pieces of wood with a history of color and wear. These are juxtaposed with decisive color choices, an uninflected paint application, and use the vehicle of a sparse geometry. I use color chips as my color reference, and inspirations for the specific choices are varied. Abstraction has always been my expressive vehicle. I like its openness and presentation of qualities other than narrative. 

The recent work on paper takes advantage of all the various random piles of colored paper that I use as color reference and inspiration, and that litter my studio, embracing that “accident” of found arrangements as a basis for the gouaches. My love of Tantric art is also visible.
