ARTIST STATEMENT 2006
M.A.L.E, MORE ABSTRACT LINEAR EVOLUTION
Over the past two years the DESCENDING ORDER series, was layers of
color, adding and subtracting medium, the final image was subtractive;
creating an imagery of ethereal cognitive dissonance, what is light and shadow, what is real.
In my current 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 takes shape, creating cadence and hue.
A series of lines drawn in, revealing organic tributaries running across a hard edge surface of primary, saturated color.   
Each painting is 20 x 24  encaustic on canvas over wood.
