ARTIST'S STATEMENT

“I live my life in growing orbits,

which move out over the things in the world.

Perhaps I can never achieve the last

but that will be my attempt. “ 

        Rainer Maria Rilke

 

Mixed medium  paintings are generated by flowing wet paint on smooth surfaces.

Working flat ,dense and translucent personal topographies are created.

The pooling of fluid paint  in combination with  circuitous linear movement

suggests but never defines. Connections drawn in the spaces between pull, twist, invert

upside down , inside out , pulse into inner dimensions
