About The Artwork
Drumhead Series paintings are inspired by movements of a drum head: a thin, flexible, circular membrane under carefully controlled even tension. Striking such a membrane excites standing waves that wash across the surface. Only certain resonant modes are allowed, however. Each resonant mode forms a pattern that fits perfectly on the circular surface, causing the membrane to move up and down at a frequency determined by the tension in the head. The allowed vibration modes are identified by the lowercase letter u followed by two quantum numbers. The first quantum number designates the radial symmetry, identifying the number of nodes (minus 1) counted out from the center. The second designates the azimuthal symmetry, identifying the number of nodes (minus 1) counted around the perimeter. Thus, the u1,1 mode has two radial nodes (one at the center, and one at the edge), and two azimuthal modes (one at each end of a diametrical neutral stripe.) These paintings depict a shapshot of a membrane disturbed by one of these vibration modes. A background color signifyies the neutral plane of the undisturbed membrane. Relatively warmer colors identify areas where the membrane has moved above the neutral plane, while cooler colors signify movement below that plane. The u0,2 mode is the second circularly symmetric mode, with concentric ripples moving between the center and edge, here shown at the time the center is moving down and the outer annulus is moving up.

I work at the interface between perception and reality. Actually, all artists work at the interface between perception and reality. The difference, if any, is that I work explicitly at the interface between perception and reality. I don't try to kid you into thinking that what you are experiencing is reality in any way, shape or form. Neither is it any kind of more-or-less abstract representation of reality. I'm not creating reality, I'm creating perception. The artist creates an object - whether it's a book, a painting, a sculpture, a mobile, or a serving of eggs Benedict - that exists in reality. When you experience that object, what you percieve is something entirely different, which exists only in your mind. It does not, and may never have, existed in reality. That is subjective reality. Objective reality isn't. In subjective reality, your mind creates a perception guided by the vision of the artist. The work of art is successful insofar as the object the artist created leads you to the perception he or she intended. Usually, what I intend is to guide you to a pleasant perceptual experience. Have a pleasant perceptual experience!
