Artist Statement




My work is a melding of my fascination of nature, science, and the
forces that shape the form and behavior of matter, and consciousness. In
a sense my work represents a reflection between creative nature and
creative consciousness. I have invented my own cosmological system
and theories, to express notions that combine the micro/macro,
inner/outer, the biologic/cosmologic, feminine/masculine, energy/matter,
notions of connectedness to nature, and to creationary processes.

The process was born out of a gestural drawing approach, a sort of an
emergent physical felt process that oscillates between clarity and chaos,
refinement and obscurity. I am attempting to capture the essence of
nature, the primordial drive, the organizational tendencies and forces of
the universe. I am essentially a formalist, whose interests revolve around
the interactions, relationships and tensions between forms and their
forces.

The images involve no preparatory work; they are inspired from within
and are non-objective. The specific identification of these forms is not
evident but they do connect with reality and provide a link between
other natural worlds and us. The images themselves reference the sense
of intrinsic beauty, mystery, power and technology of nature, which can
be thought of as a representation of inner and outer worlds that are
inherently familiar to us all.
