Through the investigation of changing space, I am attempting to reveal levels of the mind that have remained too complex to voice. To identify the structure of their form I use the shifting intricacy of real space as a source of revelation. Subconscious decisions are made to select and orchestrate the endless possibilities of unique shapes and lines.

My process begins through perceptual drawing. Instantaneously my eyes seem to apprehend changes in space and my hand follows, creating marks that trace its path.

Deeply rooted emotive forces guide the intuitive selection which occurs during the drawing. The boundaries of real space become redefined onto a flat rectangular surface. An experience is created on paper; now it is ready to be solidified through color.

Emotion is the moving and cementing force. It selects what is congruous and dyes what is selected with its color, thereby giving qualitative unity to materials externally disparate and dissimilar. – John Dewey

Color is used to investigate the relationships within the drawing. Eventually the organization of color takes on its own identity and can break away from the source. Lyrical spaces begin to develop, spaces that contain stories which have been hidden by the boundaries of language. Although products of my imagination, they have an undeniable presence as I see them emerge.

The process of painting is a means of shedding excessive information that is no longer needed. Excessive memories which curtail personal development can be transformed into aesthetic objects of visual energy. I hope that these paintings act as objects of experience. They do not have titles attached to them. This helps the space of the paintings remain flexible, delivering action inside the minds of viewers rather then being objects that limit imagination due to definitions.
