Artist's
Statement
I
have always been intrigued with the endless potential of non-objective
painting. This form of expression has always provided me with an unparalleled
means of conveying emotion and mood.
Today
my work continues to focus on the evocative and poetic rather than the
descriptive. For me, painted arrangements stand as metaphors for things
in nature, both physical and spiritual. Elements and relationships come
into being, evolve, and phase out or transform, just as things do in
life. The process is fluid and organic. I love working over and layering
the paint, taking away, adding, and balancing accident and control to
arrive at a feeling of resolution.
This process of development, or the painting's history, is metaphorical
as well. I am constantly intrigued by and aware of what came before,
what lies underneath, and the implied presence or impact of earlier
events on the finished design. In the completed work, these expressive
arrangements, movements, and relationships arrive at a state where they
hold together satisfyingly and cohesively.
For the last several years, my paintings most often began with a feeling
about or recollection of a landscape. The most recent work, however,
begins with automatic drawing-a series of gestural, linear movements
that come from my interior, from a place of "no mind." I find
this way of generating a painting to be both compelling and revealing. |
