"Soft Geometry" Having been schooled in a rigorously minimalist fashion, I am driven to break away from the panel and create "outside of the standard box". Color, minimalism, science and mathematics have interested me throughout my painting career. My use of material is the unifying thread that ties these concerns together. I am a surface fetishist. My current body of work juxtaposes my interest in geometry and my desire to deconstruct strict parameters.  I challenge the visual properties of the sculptural, translucent, sensual, natural beeswax to create shapes that appear plastic looking and factory made. This reflects my occupation with contemporary society: the need for hard edge perfection, consumerism and obsession with technology. Complex societal conditions have impelled me to simplify my visual language.  ----------------------------------------------------------------- My body of work "Special Characters", reflects my fascination with the parallels between microscopic and macroscopic elements. As I ponder the cosmos or explore deep within a living organism, I find the visual similarities astounding. Watching "The Powers of 10", a 1977 film by Ray and Charles Eames, was a seminal moment for me in terms of the evolution of my unique way of seeing the world. It shows the Eames' exploration of macroscopic and microscopic environments. The objects that I paint can be invisible to the naked eye, but perceptible by the human mind. I am continually interested in exploring the juxtaposition between what lies beneath, or out in space, and our perception of beauty and exquisiteness.
