My work is somewhere between abstract and completely non-objective. At times there seem to be recognizable images in my painting, but these images lack definite boundaries and oscillate between possibilities. I am interested in the tension that occurs when perception is not absolutely clear.
I utilize both a control of the medium and an allowance for the accidental. Shifts of the image occur while I work and become part of the finished piece. The completed painting is my response to the unsettling relationship between random acts and carefully planned decisions.
The surface is also important to me and in every work I am concerned with both elements, the physical properties of the material and the metaphorical content of the image.
