ARTISTS STATEMENT
I make paintings with Acrylics and dry pigments, articulating the beauty of the unknown through compositions guided by our awareness of this dynamic cosmic voyage. The larger works are typically the width of my wingspan; their height is often scaled to the golden ratio. Compositional geometry, whether sacred, mathematical, or both, operate as the fingerprint of consciousness underlying enormous spacetime phenomena. Taking a second perspective to a similar result, the paperwork is generated as business-casual documents, 8.5 x 11” and larger, interrogating our observational and cosmological declarations. In reading, drawing, writing, sculpting, and drafting digital models— I work through the veils of perception, quantum mechanics, and the shape and nature of reality. I treat the messages of this genius as the light of god, a steady stream of dualistic waves and photons that have projected a survey of comparative religions, intelligences, and intuitions that are consistently updating similar messages for us, in hopes that we are learning and edifying our present state of existence.
It is as funny, elegant, and dry as the paintings are as they arrived at the gallery.
I find theology and science fiction to present the same grand puzzle, and if this is a simulated universe, can it be solved at any moment? Do we have all of the tools and evidence needed? While articulating the unknown, I seek to amplify the positive pathways and patterns permeating through competing, divergent discourses into coalessing forms that point us towards utopic eventualities.
