My Artist Statement
DATE: 01/29/2008 18:22:37 / MOOD: other
I work with many layers, building them up to create the illusion of
depth. By utilizing both conventional and unconventional tools I allow
paint to take on a life of it’s own and allow unexpected patterns to
emerge when working digitally. These controlled accidents are
instinctively driven (rather than consciously decided) to ultimately
create a dialogue between myself the artwork, and the viewer as well.
I am always influenced by nature, the figure, and patterns. My
watercolours generally take anywhere from 50 to 100 thin layers of
paint to create. Similarly, my digitals take up to 40 or more layers
till I reach a final piece.
I create mandalas, a traditional practice, and combine that with the
less structured aspects of abstraction. Historically, mandalas have
been created in various forms for thousands of years by cultures around
the world (for example the Tibetan monks still make them out of sand).
Personally, I define these circular paintings as windows into the soul
where I work spontaneously from emotion. I never work from a
preconceived notion of what the final appearance will or should be.
Although I work from my innermost feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
I find it fascinating that every individual has a unique experience
when looking at my work, whether it is painted or digitally created,
since we are all affected by colour differently. My intention in the
end is to have the viewer feel, think, question.
