I am interested in the way we navigate through our lives and our world. We employ various methods, devised out of necessity or from habit, to negotiate the environments we encounter. These environments imprint on us spatial memories. And like all memories they change over time. They become grander and more complex or fade and fall apart. In my paintings, arcs and waveforms lead the viewer through a complex space of geometric planes and color. Structures begin to assemble into familiar forms while at the same time they are expanding and fragmenting. Points of view shift while spatial contradictions suggest other possibilities. Despite this unsettling effect, the viewer’s eye ultimately comes to rest as the paintings achieve balance and stillness.
