Artist Statement: |
|
My
paintings reference the natural world. Each series reveals new aspects
of my interest in the rhythms of order and disorder in nature, through
rivers, the wilderness, the microscopic and space. From a simple twig,
a stand of trees, a thicket of branches to fractal mathematics and
universal theories, I explore a process of abstracting and
re-abstracting images commonly found in nature.
In addition, my paintings highlight dichotomies such as active to
passive, symmetry to randomness, and curvilinear to geometric, drawing
attention to the variety of pattern and form which surrounds us. There
are elements of microscopic to astronomic, abstract to figurative, and
individual in relation to the universal.
My current series of paintings “Liminal,”
presents the threshold, or
beginning of day and night, and the time between light and dark,
referencing the changing of seasons and the passing of time. I am
interested in memory and loss; the leaves, branches and trees are
interrupted with overlays of various structures - precipitation, sound
waves, light patterns; man-made verses nature, chance against the
predetermined, reality against the imagined, the abstract and the
remembered. Many layers of transparent oil glazes are built up to
reveal and conceal elements of the original form, convey obscurity and
timelessness, and a sense of the core issues of life and existence.
