abstractions

my paintings are nursery rhymes. they build relationships with voids. sometimes the void has an edge. like a child peering over an object, i can see a line, a color, a shade.
an image slowly emerges from the debris of detail. it seems to come from within: genuinely and without effort.
rarely does one painting engulf the void completely. often each painting is a refraction of a central idea. painting in series is the outcome of obsession. it allows me to express a single image from a multitude of viewpoints.

slowly, painfully, complete distillation occurs.
