URBAN ABSTRACTIONS AND PRIVATE UNIVERSES.
In my observations of the physical world, both man-made and natural, I find myself fascinated with the patterns, rhythms and structures I see all around me. From beach sand rivulets to the ridged metal siding of a building, these surfaces, shapes and textures contain a rich and detailed narrative that is the essence of life. Their beauty is in their simplicity, and their power is in their ability to create a cosmos. The smallest part, the fragment, the microcosm, contains many stories about the incomprehensible vastness in which we live.
The most recent work is starting to explore the creation of volume on a flat surface, without using traditional compositional perspective. These personal universes are deep dives into a simulated multi-dimensionality without traditional form or substance.
