ARTIST STATEMENT

Relationships

are never easy. . .

especially those between color, shape, texture, space . . . and especially tension.

No matter what the medium

or material - everything from recycled aluminum press plates to cardboard - I attempt to create a tension in each piece: the all-important proportion, the placement and relationship of

one shape to another shape and

one color to another color . . .

in space in search of an essense,

a simplicty.

The relationship of the work to the viewer hopefully connects the universal to the personal.

Titles are used to emotionalize and connect the viewer to an otherwise ambiguous, abstract piece. . . often infused with satire.
