Artist Statement

This body of work, like the world that surrounds us, is informed by a variety of ideas with infinite possibilities that result in an additive artistic process. It is a continuous effort to translate abstract thoughts of process, singularity, and causation into visual images; thus opening a world of conceptual landscapes beyond the tangible world. The work primarily relates to the string theory, Daoist philosophy, and the forms found in natural world, making the process both spiritual and scientific. The spiritual half, Daoist philosophy, believes that all things influence each other, creating an ever-changing balance. String theory, the scientific half, proposes that all matter is composed of the same material: immeasurable vibrating strings. In order, to express these ideas, the paintings are built from abstract line, form, and color referencing aspects of nature, movement, and the interconnectivity of all things and/or events.
