Axis Painting

Patterns in nature, architecture, and layers of paint on surfaces are my inspiration. Transparency allows the viewer to see the past and present combined at once, as each layer allows exposure to the underlying construction. Time is therefore expressed in these layers of shapes. Instead of experiencing time in a linear way, as a narrative to be read left to right, bottom to top or top down, I look at time condensed and compressed like a double exposure photograph where one picture is taken on top of another. The end result allows multiple moments to appear at once. It’s as if one is looking through peeled back layers to reveal other stages of development. I respect the process of discovery and beauty of the materials as my work continues to parallel my life.
