Statement

Informed by the interplay of color phenomena in nature – mirages, iridescence, the diffusion of light at the golden hour before sunset and twilight – I paint works that explore color theory and invite an embodied response. Color transmits sensations that are subjective and synesthetic, conjuring a taste, a touch, a scent, a rhythm. I use fluorescent, metallic, or phosphorescent paint and mica that flickers, glows or is shadowed in changing light conditions to create a dynamic encounter in and with my work. With a limited number of colors composed as a dense series of unruled and overlapping lines, the works appear as a handwoven mesh vibrating above the surface of the canvas; a soft geometry of shifting space.
