A space in which forms occupy, are imbedded in, a palpable spatial field. A porous and elastic &#8220;skin&#8221; that stretches and shrinks, warps, enfolds and opens out, in accordance with kinetic pressures. A space with a layered history, with torn gaps\u2014rents glimpsed in the spatial fabric which disclose passing events and hidden locales. And perhaps unsuspected sightings of an &#8220;alternative universe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Images in this series bear similarity to those in much of my other work. Derived from organic and inorganic spheres, they range in scale from the micro-biological to the celestial. Their specific identity as objects or object-like entities are often, if not always, indeterminate. Their seeming solidity is contradicted by their transparency, and by their cross-over interactions with other shapes. Familiar forms may appear &#8220;hybridized&#8221; to be &#8220;as real as unreal can be.&#8221; I wish them to express a state in which everything appears to be happening at once. A kind of pandemonium cutting across boundaries in an impermanent world; a world in which only differing rates of change exist. Yet, beyond all this complexity, I hope that a buoyant, holding integration of overall form persists.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;white&#8221; c_icon=&#8221;triangle&#8221; active_section=&#8221;99&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;top-to-bottom&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Artist statement&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;statement&#8221; el_class=&#8221;h4&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;top-to-bottom&#8221;]In this group of paintings, I wish to summon up a world of images interacting with forces analogous to the &#8220;fabric of space&#8221; of modern physics.
