STATEMENT, APRIL 2009

My paintings are rooted in color. Color intervals provoke the fleeting sensations of light animating a space. Bands of color become paths of light, traces of motion that lead the eye through an illusionistic space and around a tactile surface. These bands evoke written languages like Arabic or graffiti-- illegible but loaded with expressions of balance or instability, variation of speed, entanglement, congestion or comfort, fluidity or angularity.
