the following paintings represent the more formal explorations of light I have focused on as balanced compositions of line and color. Saturated blends, expanding rays, and dramatic perspectives are all meant to create a narrative within each piece, narratives that align with the uplifting nature of observed light. These works also focus on the Fundamentals of light as a particle, wave and nutrient, using it’s scientific definitions to further inform these spectral abstractions of time, space and gradient growth. These works are often unplanned, intuitive explorations of light and its impact, and although positive associations speak loudly through these works, rarely is the work completely resolved. Negative space, denied symmetry, broken forms, drips and imperfect points of origin speak to the lack of resolution we experience daily, the constant struggle and navigation required to tend towards light and achieve balance.
