Artist Statement
My latest paintings employ a gestural process in which acrylic paint on canvas is overlaid with thick drop splashes of coffee residue or very liquified streams of coffee tints. The results are Abstracted Expressionist layouts of ground and sky maps consisting of geo spatial views below and constellations above. They capture the organic abstraction of nature, combining fluidity, randomness, and order, symmetry, surprise, and movement combined with contours of stillness. The use of coffee residue or extracts creates unique textured surfaces and earth tones.
Collection: Space Within & Without
This new series of work is an exploration of therelationship between spaces: places and spaces in our universe and, places andspaces within us.
This is the use artistic language to capture ordescribe the fractal relationships in our universe, i.e. structures inside our bodies and synapses inside our brains, the geo-spatial structure of earth, the structural layout of constellations, and the processes of their conception or inception.
