Helix Painting

This work, within the context of my body of artwork, focuses on working with a reduced visual vocabulary that consists of two primary elements – a circle and a grid. The primary interest is in exploring the relationship of the grid to the geometric elements that are contained within it. The recent works reflect the continued circle and grid relationship, however, through a manipulation of color and spatial elements, the circle and grid are systematically broken down by the tension of a push – pull scenario. In addition, by changing the scale of the circles in breaking the grid, I’ve created a new visual vocabulary. In creating these works, I am exploring the many possible configurations and the relationships of the elements within the canvas plane, in order to create an emotional and visual experience. Works from this period began to introduce the further deconstruction of the grid and the regrouping of the circle. Ultimately, it is the depth of possibilities that the circle, grid and color present that is of the utmost importance in my work.
