Statement:

These abstractions take reference from memory, aesthetic decisions, and other artists to create a painted space that resists categorization. These painted spaces create tension for the viewer about their relationship to, and the nature of space. An individuals’ view of these paintings give them an air of existentialism: a single viewer in a single space having a singular experience. There are no figures, substantial form or narrative. The psychological content is reflective of the contemporary dilemma of alienation from physicality in everyday life and the increasing retreat into the solitude of self.
