My paintings are rooted in the study of color. Color intervals are calibrated to provoke the fleeting sensations of light animating a space. Forms are developed to support this intention. Bands of color become paths—traces of motion: brush and arm and body, and paths that lead the eye through a space and around a surface. These bands evoke written languages like Arabic or graffiti-- illegible but loaded with expressions of balance or instability, variation of speed, entanglement, congestion or comfort, fluidity or angularity. In this way, the abstract calligraphy can be read and allows each painting to have it’s own complex and unfolding personality. In this realm of color, space and form, I am developing and exploring a language as well as a reality, that is perhaps, a parallel to my own.
