Statement:
A Conversations between Blue and Red: The interaction of color, depth of space and emotional states continue to interest me. My most recent works have become grid based paintings with organic and botanical shapes which are more simplified, the resulting compositions are intricate and extremely energetic. This series depicts longitude & latitude giving a sense of place - the grid - the jagged split represents noise; all types of noise.
This noise is based on interactions beyond our control, i.e. planetary, mental, emotional, physical, metaphysical.
As the grid is removed all we are left with is the noise. Leaving us with the pain, control, order and reductionism, the practice of simplifying a complex idea, issue, condition, or the like, especially to the point of minimizing, obscuring, or distorting it. This is what my focus is.
