In my current work I am creating paintings that index the landscape and nature as abstract expressionist images. I am interested in creating highly subjective works that evade a single interpretation. The paintings are not a literal depiction of an external place, but are creations born from my memories, imagination, and subconscious – an internal landscape. I am interested in exploring the mind – body connection through my process, focusing on stream of consciousness painting. I use a square format in my work for its balance and symmetry. I see my canvases as symbolic windows through which I am looking into and out of for my images. When I am painting, I am connected to something larger than myself, actively participating in a search for understanding, balance, serendipity, and inspiration. |
