The previous series, DESCENDING ORDER consisted of an over all hue with a horizontal linear band of color. Adding and subtracting the   layers of color reveals the horizontal image through the center of the painting, which creates a spatial feeling of cognitive dissonance, what   is real? This series of paintings lent themselves to the recent body of work, M.A.L.E, more abstract linear evolution.      The paintings individually play as a word or a component of something larger. While each painting maintains individuality, in a grouping   they form a narrative. That changes, creating a different emotional response depending on how they are arranged.       A series of lines drawn in, revealing organic tributaries running across a hard edge surface of primary color, The individual paintings become rhyming and often unrhymed lines in a poem, each playing off of one another depending on the arrangement like a quatrain or haiku.
