Three-dimensional, tiered, wooden structures have evolved from canvases painted with the illusion of three dimensions. Both types of acrylic works are painted with techniques inspired by the marking process of Seurat and Albers' color theories and geometrical presentations From a distance, the individual marks lose their identity; hues are seen in the mid-range and these, then, coalesce to form textural, geometric images. The interaction of colors is most important. Integration and balance play a role in the inherent meditative quality of the art. Confronting my own mortality has increased my awareness of deeply rooted spiritual concerns. Thus, my work deals not only with self-unity but also with some type of universal union. |
