Artist Statement
Drawing precedes painting in my work. Since 1998
I have been using compasses to choreograph a network of circular
forms, originally based on a sine wave or ‘s’ curve.
These play with my interest in centrifugal/centripetal forces, in
edges that set up tension as well as flow. Symmetry and other sets
at times reference echo, reflection and establish pattern. As forms
expand and contract, interconnect and vie for dominance, the drawing
serves as an extension of my breath, setting up a kind of dance
that pulsates across the surface. Circles remain or morph into other
shapes until an overall web of ‘bubble slices’ exists.
In the paintings, these forms serve as vessels for
color. The painted surface is precise and uninflected allowing spatial
interaction to reveal itself simply and clearly, establishing a
balance between surface tension and movement. I am compelled by
the discreet relationships that emerge from the interplay of color
and form, in a tense field where subject and ground continually
alternate. I want the images to act as suspended, yet connected
slices of light, breathing, tense and emergent.
