Oils, pastels, mixed media, and sculpture.

The work is displayed from the most to the least recent. The objective paintings are primarily concerned with natural forms and the way they merge and emerge in space. The more abstract mixed media work done thus far deals with the way forms interact and appear to dissolve into and replace one another. The tapestry like effect that results from disintegrating layers,laid side by side, has consistently drawn my attention. I see the objective and abstract work as related- different ways of observing natural phenomena. This site is in progress; earlier examples of objective and abstract paintings are being added.

Painting-Seascape-Revolution; View 1

Revolution; View 1

Oil on canvas. Revolution is not meant to be seen from only one angle, but to be turned periodically, as it was painted. Each view deals with space and presence differently. The "revolution" its name refers to, however, is that of radical change, or states of being. What intrigued me about the exchanging observed forms- earth and water- was the way the normal qualities of each are also exchanged,with each wave- the water, when stilled, has a porous, hard,almost bone-like quality; while the sand, once bone, becomes translucent, ephemeral- fleeting. This painting,and Arabesque,(following) were meditations on the passing of my brother Jay.
