Statement: The Space/Time Monotypes

The title of the series derives from my meditation practice which has strongly influenced the simplicity and abstraction of this work. It allows me both the ability to connect deeply with my creative process and also the confidence to express it without resorting to naming or analyzing it. The results capture a spontaneous moment in time, and yet they also express through color the underlying vibrational unity and structure of life.

Both space and time are linked together in this expression of pure color, using the simplest forms possible, so that the light in the color dominates the work and creates a transcendent, prismatic whole. It is this transcendence which absorbs time and transmutes it as the viewer is pulled into the chromatic vibrating energy of the print.

Colored inks are applied with soft rubber brayers on a Plexiglas plate, and the piece evolves until balance is created. Without resorting to any kind of representation, the finished work has a unity which is expressed in a language that speaks to both our senses and our mind, satisfying them both with its elegant harmony, freshness and clarity.
