Perspective and Conceptual Construction: My work is a mediation between fractured and deconstructed perspectives. It is my way of coming to terms with painting’s inherent contradictions of representation and the concrete.

I have deliberately and radically reduced the elements in my work in order to clearly understand painting’s nature. For me shifting perceptions, reflected light, color/ material and location are what interest me, along with required spatial tension. My approach is strictly intuitive when it comes to these matters.

You will notice raised lines on the surface of my paintings. This is the “engineered canvas” description listed in my titles. Its a process of drawing and attaching cord to canvas, a direct descendant of work I was doing in the seventies with cast Rhoplex.*
