Artist's Statement
In this work I am interested in ways that a painting can in visual ways live in real space but also suggest at times an inner place outside a defined landscape, a moment out of time.
This shaped painting form suggests body references and in their energy, like a poem hold multiple meanings. Are these angeli , free floating across the the walls surface, with a special message? Maybe!
These paintings declare themselves decisively as painted objects transformed.
The folds, rolls, creases and edges are active visual devices in the paintings structure that suggest space and movement. Sometimes linear elements whip over involved shapes with a life of their own to provoke emotional response and reveal fresh possibilities for visual interpretation.
