i have to paint in order to see the parallel and unifying dimensions
of reality. The tools that I have to communicate these ideas and
their implications are dynamic and symbolic use of line, color, and
form. When i set out to create, i empty myself, in a search to
find an answer to a question that i do not yet know. It is a
hallucinogenic rorschach trance where i feel that all i have are
tools and the image is passing through me like a conduit. The
meaning of my art often comes long after the act of creation.
When i think i understand what is happening, i end up projecting
my idea instead of allowing the original concept to form itself; the
painting becomes contrived. As with nature, the organic process is
always compositionally correct, so i strive to allow the intuitive
flow of energy dictate the next move. i use a combination of
traditional and experimental techniques or from concepts that
take precedence over traditional aesthetics or material concerns.
i aspire to convey the paradoxically unifying concepts in
spirituality, art, and science that can be understood through the
transformational and cyclical processes found through the pattern
that connects them together by using spontaneous psychic
automatism and mystical surreal biomorphic mirror abstract
expression.
seamless,
unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle,
beyond all conception.
