Vibrata Chromodoris, Tuesday October 2nd at 9:00PM
I enjoy that my paintings play tricks on the eye; how the viewer reads a soft, luminous blur from a series of hard lines and distinct colors. Each piece can be appreciated simply for this optical effect, which parallels the nature of the digital image in which individual blocks of colour in the form of pixels appear to the eye as subtle gradients. Contrast this with the folk-art traditions of the Mexican Huichol people. Their wool-painting and bead work demonstrate the same optical effect.
My main goal is to describe my vision of four dimensional being, a state of perpetual change that is viewed from a singular point of the present. I paint from the point of view of existing within the vision and being inseparable from it: I have no subject/object relation to the composition. The images appear to be pieces of an infinitely large whole. I like to call attention to positive and negative spaces, and simultaneously call into question their distinction. Using the buildup of lines, I describe interpenetrating forms: dark, pregnant spaces envelop yet simultaneously invade the pulsating energy; energy forms rhythmically penetrate the dark spaces, while at the same time, yielding. Recognizable images seem about to emerge from an essentially abstract soup.
