The work investigates figurative forms that move in and throughout spaces. The continuum of time, movement, and space, in and of itself, denies visual and physical “reality” as well as one’s “place” in such a reality.

​

Figure, mass, and flux become visible yet their relationship to an abstract environment remain undefined. Ground, simmering with visages of nature is mediated by freely associative and emergent form and space. The notion of picture plane is both affirmed by surface and contradicted by implications of perspective, layers figure and gesture with invitation to move at will, transform, or halt abruptly. 

​

Nature and light find inspiration in  the language of Corot and Fra Angelico; the idylls of Puvis de Chavannes.​ Movement is rooted in the Romantics. Unexpected configurations develop. Disjointed elements and superimpositions produce dislocations from the “normative.” Working from memory of the physical world, its persistence operates in a state of inertia, resisting change until freed by reinvention.

​

The work exists in the pursuit of location; something of erosion and transfiguration. The space between things is mysterious; the sense of air and solidity between things so well understood by Piero della Francesca.  The figurative in my work strives to lose its identity; space is formed in part by its presence.  I work to dissolve precision toward a new kind of clarity; to stop and start time.
