In this new series of work, the visual language of geometric
and organic pattern is fundamental. I establish a
universe of DNA, light, sound waves, magnetic fields and
chemical bonds. Biological, symbolic cosmological and,
at times, erotically explicit forms are pieced together as
"collage inlay," depicting worlds within worlds built of
patterns in relationship. All of my works are about
movement, its sources and forces, and the suggestion that
everything, even the spin of an electron, has vitality and
identity, that a single desire or gesture can ripple
throughout spacetime. I believe new constructs of
visual patterns release a viewer's mind from old patterns of
perception. Each of my works is meant to provoke
heightened awareness and personal inquiry. -
