My artwork is a blend of both painting and sculpture. It has evolved from flat collages (91” x 26” or larger) to three-dimensional constructions (91” x 104” x 73” or smaller). Paint is applied to a variety of materials (canvas, cheesecloth, nylon and aluminum screens, plastic, rug-hold, wood) that are suspended in layers from wooden structures.
I blend a fluid improvisational painting approach with a repetitively structured and analytical one to create complex images that counter visual skimming. I incorporate the circle as a repetitive decorative motif, as a metaphor for binary code, and as a cultural symbol of infinite continuity. Through intricate patterning, I combine these references to link the passive precision of technology with the active nuance of handicraft. My intent to induce a contemplative state of mind creates a visual respite that mirrors, but also transcends our accelerated tech-saturated culture. While also addressing issues of beauty, I hope my art becomes an intimate vehicle for reflection or reprieve.
