Artist Statement:
I consider my work a
re-contextualization of the
history of ornament through a
spirit reminiscent of the
modernist era of unprecedented
experimentation. The process
of invention involves
revealing latent geometries,
and explores the region
between art, science, and
nature, while existing in the
realm of contemporary abstract
painting. With occasional
sampling of decorative motifs,
my work has been an intuitive
journey into the center, both
technically and spiritually.
Through symmetry I experience
a heightened awareness of
natural mysteries through the
science of beauty. This
process has allowed me to
survey many periods, like a
time traveler surfing the
epochs of visual history.
I’ve recently had the
chance to work in a laboratory
setting, where I did
experimental labs on the
principles of Cymatics, the
study of shapes and patterns
created by mechanical sound
vibrations. The physical
demonstrations led me to
conducting virtual labs via
the computer that served as
models for the series of
paintings I call the
“Greytones”. During my study,
I was also heavily influenced
by the “Googie” era,
outlandish Mid-Century Modern
design, and the otherworldly
architecture of John
Lautner....
