SEARCHING FOR FLOATING FORMS WITH FEELING
SEARCHING FOR FLOATING FORMS WITH FEELING
This 2023 series is a story of gestural movements and of figures falling, tumbling and dancing.
MUTED SERIES | ACT 1
Rising Action. Climax. Falling Action.
Inspired by surprise events that often overwhelm the calm rhythm of life. In Act 1 this is expressed as a figurative dance atop a calm canvas. The series is ignited with a layer of intense movement over the top of a softer, muted foundation.
The Stations series (2023) is a three piece trinity.
We all carry weight for those we love and for the world.
My thoughts often return to the cross as a symbol, a form of hardships and of suffering. Also as a guide for humility, kindness and ways to love to lift us above fears to use our given talents as a gift to the world.
The Arials series (2022)
This 5 piece series offers the viewer an experience from above with the feeling of suspension. The pieces represent a breakthrough toward a looser approach with freestyle drawing and movement of floating forms.
The Primal Ceremonies series (2022)
This 12 piece series is an interior reflection of the self and responds to the unconscious, with influences from African ceremonial colors, lines, and forms that evoke expressions of nature.
The Universal Forms series (2022-23)
When a piece speaks to me, I know I’m heading in the right direction. I find the more that I destroy and rebuild a piece, the more deeply I search within myself for something from the unconscious.
With this 12 piece series I’m returning back to my authentic abstract expressionist work. This series seeks primitivism with floating forms and fine line repetition. Contrasting darker dominate space with lighter areas represents opposing force in the world, the light and darkness.
The Underwater series (2022)
This 5 piece series is a journey into spontaneous spirals of the universe. Works seek to connect with an element of nature through an underwater lens. Underwater explores techniques of layering natural forms with lines to create organic spiral movement.
The Poetry of Motion series (2000-21)
This 15 piece abstract collection was created in close connection to the life cycles of the natural world. The work utilizes layers of significant organic forms floating and suspended in space. The layering highlights the figurative and symbolic forms, with each new layer representing the passage of time.
The Cave Art series (2020)
Energetic mark-making and innate human feeling. The works of this 25 piece series focus on simple space and echo the feeling of timeless stillness within.
Sample of works from multiple series during this period, including Childhood Spaces (27 piece series); Rooted Expression (20 piece series); and Cave Art (35 piece series).
