“The work is abstract, but some of my inspiration derives from the color and light of the urban landscape around my studio, and from what I see and remember in nature. The landscape comes in and goes out in my work like water or music, a swelling and repetitive movement, with variations, and the sag in the work, evoking gravity and the body, creates more than one kind of rhythm between the curved and the straight, and a slightly volumetric space. In my most recent work I continue to explore these themes in a return to color, a break in linearity with a series of stuttering marks, and interruption of the rectangle as the image forms new relationships to the edge.”
