Artist Statement:
During my time in India I
noticed what I would call an
indescribable “energy” that
permeated my surroundings. I
have had difficulty
understanding what this
“energy” is and why I found it
there. I have discovered that
this “energy” is not only a
part of India but also is an
eternal force that is a part
of our world. I see the world
through thin veils of
alternate realities and find
myself in the middle of a
physical/metaphysical
world--somewhere between
conscious and unconscious,
where the physicality of the
world in nature meets the
spirit of the mind. These
ideas are inseparable; they
form a symbiotic relationship,
in which seemingly opposing
ideas cannot be present
without the other; they are
ONE.
This series explores the
presence of this eternal
mystery and dialectic force
between the
physical/metaphysical world in
my life. Elements of East
Indian architecture are the
source of inspiration for this
project, developing from a
semester I spent in India.
The architectural elements
serve as a vehicle for
associating this abstract idea
with something that is
tangible.
India weaves complex colors,
layers, and veils into
harmonious energy. These
paintings embrace this by
creating movement and energy
