From the Artist
So much of my work has to do with what happens in the peripheral vision. If I focus on any particular shape, I can evaluate the success of the painting by paying attention to how the other shapes dance, or move, or interact in my peripheral vision while I'm focused to that one particular point. I'm very conscious of magnetic pull between shapes and colors.
—From Brandywine Workshop and Archives records
My paintings, though distinctly abstract, tend to suggest waves of sound, light or seismic activity. They evoke the natural world while acknowledging the technology that measures or records it. Referenced also is the interaction with contemporary culture and the traditions of modern painting. The paintings are carefully planned in regard to palette and process, although the predetermined systems do allow for a large degree of improvisations. Many on-the-spot decisions are made, with results that form a strange blend between the appearance of spontaneity and the appearance of control. The paintings unfold as I make them – at times surprising or confounding my expectations.
