About The Artwork
This work is inspired by old bagatelle game boards, the precursor to pinball as we know it today. While it hearkens to the world of games, its size allows it to speak to architectural forms. Using the arch and the shield as motifs, this painting investigates notions of doubleness – entry and obstruction, patterns overlaid and intersecting, acts of veiling. Pivoting between arch/void or shield/form, the work unfolds as its patterned surface veils, collapses and expands. The large-scale canvas allows the work to hearken to a monumental architectural form and thus relate to the viewer’s body. The suggestion of an arch creates the sensation of literal passageway, or its obstruction, heightening the experience of the spatial shifts in the work.
