Artist's Statement

The only thing worse than not being able to see the forest for the trees is when you are the one who planted the trees in the first place. I feel this way quite often with my painting and drawing. Art is my science, my experimental lab, my playground, and as such, all of the triumphs and frustrations are mine and mine alone. This new body of work is therefore the current exercise of my philosophy and demons, an alchemy, if you will, of the nature of my art.

Process, methodology, is the real focus of my work. For me, the trip really is more important than the destination. Influenced by DeKooning, Twombly, and the aesthetics of late 20th century Modernists, I create for myself an aesthetic ‘problem’ which is solved in the act of painting. This problem arises from a mass of paper and media, scratched, scrubbed and sanded away to reveal naturally occurring collisions of color and form to which I respond. This sculptural surface is then manipulated and layered further to create an object that reflects the natural processes of nature and time while commenting on the act of painting as cipher, or communicator.

Lines are series of connected points on which we assign meaning. Pictures, ideograms, hieroglyphics, are all variations of this process, all with the intention of communicating an intangible idea, which becomes language. Painting is therefore nothing more than the act of communicating in a new, individual language with the challenge being to create work that transcends language itself and achieves universality. For this series of work I have selected the figure 8, or infinity symbol to focus my process upon. This symbol is easily read by anyone as duality, or continuation. Such a simple abstract form allows for a limitless formalist study such that I may explore freely, one work to the next issues of color, line and spatial relationships.
