My work is not intended to depict or recall particular objects or places, systems or events. However,
as I try to animate each painting with complex tensions and rhythms, I’m increasingly aware that I
metaphorically reference familiar states– forces and relations which we regularly encounter as we
negotiate our physical and social worlds. Thus, the viewer may sense familiar binary oppositions,
such as: open/closed, light/heavy, expanding/contracting, near/far, joined/separate, rising/falling,
fixed/moving. These felt oppositions give the work a certain resonance. They are as rich in
associative power and levels of meaning as are the geometric forms through which they are
suggested.
