Compelled by the pulsation of the beautiful and ghastly relentlessly clashing I create visual rhythms through compositions of accumulation. I use multiple distinct brushstrokes and layers of poured paint for graphic directness, but highly saturated chroma in order to heighten the effect of color’s imprecise language. Utterly seduced by the formal complexity of color, I revel in its emotive slipperiness and enjoy mining its controversial decorativeness. The inextricability of these aspects unique to color, continually spurs my engagement. In stacks and bundles, or in patterns akin to lists, streams, or gales, I muse in lush celebration, high pitched lament, and raucous rebellion.
