| "A
semblance of landscape is persistent in my work. Focusing on memories of
familiar places, I work within a stream of consciousness to create
spaces that are fractured yet loaded with imagery. Although some images
may be more recognizable than others, it is the expanse not the specific
that is significant. I work with imagined, often exaggerated color.
When painting, I may close my eyes and ask "what would come next?" Using
a variety of media: ink, charcoal, graphite, acrylic and oil, I Work
simultaneously on large drawings and paintings; the distinction is not
always clear. Color and line vibrate and blur coming into focus now and
then to suggest imagery. Objects become stacked and compressed in
shallow space. Much like the reconstruction of memory, spatial
understanding and intuition intersect on the painted surface to create
an emotional response.I try to act with an expressionist sensibility,
combining physical experience and a wandering eye with a reckless hand.
When exploring the emotional connection I have to my personal landscape,
I find that architecture and natural forms maintain a lasting
impression on my psyche. Much like Van Gogh's cypress trees, aspects of
the landscape supplant living figures taking on a liveliness that rivals
our own." |
