Artist Statement:
I paint in order to experience
the exhilaration of the
creative process. It's
exhilarating to stand in front
of a blank canvas full of
potential; to experience the
initial thoughts and visceral
impulses that begin the
process; to practice engaging
with my intuitive
self...trusting that each move
is the "right" move. It's a
game really, and each artist
plays his own version. Mine
involves creating chaos, and
then revealing the order that
lies within that chaos. The
beauty of the game is that it
facilitates a state of harmony
between activity and
receptivity, while
simultaneously leading me to
create a physical
representation of that state.
My paintings become physical
manifestations of the harmony
I have achieved while creating
them. In addition, my work can
be viewed as a reflection of
my interest in evolution and
self-awareness. Recent
paintings focus on the
relationships between
component parts within systems
of order. I am currently
questioning how the evolution
of "one" affects the "whole,"
and exploring the concept of
autonomy within the framework
of a collective.
