Short statement, 2020 My work evolves out of a simplified formal language into a series of repetitions, variations, and syncopations, which analogize various cyclical phenomena: weather, tides, tectonic shifts, profits and losses, moods, pulses.  At the same time my physical engagement with materials incorporates the presence and scale of the body, further shaping the rhythmic structure. The interaction of these two spheres—the gestural and the geometric—dissolves the primacy of one or the other, while alluding to the dissolution of parallel dichotomies, like body and mind. The paintings are intended to be neither visual/spatial nor physical/flat, but somewhere in the center, where sight meets touch. Drawing (Parentheses), 2019 Reliefs, 2016
