These new paintings, beginning with The Structure Series, were inspired by the urban environment that surrounds me. These paintings are a platform for the creative states that I experience as an artist and a human being. The Ribbon Series and The Stripe Series, offshoots of The Structure Series, investigate congregated and communal geometric forms. Through the use of pattern and repetition I am able to formulate a cohesive and opposing balance which perpetuates movement and tension on the playing field. The most recent works portray some of the emotional turmoil and isolation experienced during the pandemic.
The Structure Series has become a metaphor for our conflicting times. Social, political, personal, and economic upheaval is always experienced, processed, and then restructured. These paintings examine the constructs of intellect and emotion through the repetitive use of the square, how it is presented and organized, and how color characterizes the psychology of the works. I play with the sounds and structural cacophony that inhabits the works in order to feel their strong presence and voice.
