Psychological confinement is a way of life. Behind the bars, contained and constrained in the game cage, in the safety of knowing is our playground. All activities take place under the borders of our existences. Limitation becomes the home base of now and future manifestation.
The reference to Albers is relevant and tangential. This short group of paintings that use the canvas as an armature for color study travel in the lanes of others; Albers, Rothko, Halley. Everything in this series is an exercise, a remembering and re-engagement with instincts around color relationships, the weight, balance, luminance of colors and how they affect one another, and when color forces the hand of composition into something else.

This cultivated space garden is dislodged from gravity. It’s in the midst of finding its place, its order. Free from any ground, objects in space follow different organizational patterns. Velocity, entropy, large bodies.
Objects in space are nascent versions of things already familiar to us, but they haven’t been formed yet.
These are like ghosts of things to come, rather than ghosts of what has already been.
Structures Study 14. Structures abbutt. They don’t grow, they overlap, additively, and they are carved away. Structures, traditionally, are non-sentient. They are refined from raw materials. They are one of the proliferating forms that populate our landscape. Structures begin to gain sentience, but their bodies are non-sentient. Color is symbolic of life.
Sometimes a certain shape evokes a certain color and before you know it you’re sliding down the slippery slope of one of your favorite junk foods. This one to me is looking kind of like that. A little pop art, but ultimately, pattern, line, color, shape.
Palette cleansers. Purely practical affairs, reflecting the binaries of process, this type of painting is the by-product of other works; when I search for the right color and end up with more than I anticipated, I’m afforded a chance to be less precious, loosen up and paint with even less regard for the subject than usual. These are purely about paint and gesture, spontaneity, and immediacy.
Something from a dream, a geometric martian landscape falling into the distance, becoming paper airplanes, spaceships, and taking flight into a mysterious glowing universe. Simply a playful exploration of an idea.
Time is a continuum. Lives are lived on that continuum and in all of our lives there are sections that have been blocked out, either consciously or unconsciously, by system error or by circumstance. A worthy topic, “Redacted” is a painting that started out censored and has embedded that lost data into it’s body over the course of time.
