My work endeavors to engage the viewer, and myself in a surprising non-tangible amplification of light and color. The enigmatic visual effects of color fascinate me. Sometimes pale painted forms that are intermingled with after-images appear and disappear. Simultaneously the abutting edges of colors create a colored light that seems to float in front of the painting surface. How these effects relate, how to bring them to the fore and how they are integrated into the total painting is pivotal to my work. What I am striving for is the emergence of visual activity where the distinction between what is painted and what the eye constructs is elusive. |
