ABOUT THE ARTWORK
After returning from 2 years in Japan i made the "sore kara" series. The title is lifted from a Natsume Soseki novel of the same name which translates as "And Then", meaning what's next, what is the next phase. The influence of Japanese aesthetic is fully evident in this next phase of painting which was a complete break away from my earlier realistic work. The pieces are meditative and contemplative in nature for the viewer, drawing immediate visual attention yet letting the mind rest there. The sore kara works were done by applying layers of gouache, silver and gold leaf on a variety of papers with the addition of acrylic medium. In between layers are scrubbed and partially removed, sometimes to the degree of breaking though the paper which is patched with more paper.. It is framed in a shadow box frame revealing the entire piece. The paper dimensions are 21" x 14.5" and the frame measures 25" x 19½".

Working in art for me is process of opening and receptivity and at the same time a path of discovery of the unknown. There is a Japanese word Ma (間) which can be roughly translated as "gap", "space", "pause" . It is best described as a consciousness of place, not in the sense of an enclosed three-dimensional entity, but rather the simultaneous awareness of form and non-form. My work aims to express a place extending beyond the veil of tangible form, seeking the space between the physical and the non-physical. Like the emptiness at the bottom of the breath, it is a place of pause, a place of transition...
