MY ARTWORK IS AS MUCH INVISIBLE AS IT IS
APPARENT TO THE EYE, FIGURES GAZE AT
SIGHTS UNKNOWN, LANDSCAPES DISSOLVE
INTO THE ABSTRACTION OF SHAPES OVER
IMPERCEPTIBLE BOUNDARIES, AND COLOR,
MORE VIVID AND SURREALTHAN SUNSET OR
IRRIDESCENCE, ANIMATES SCENES COMPOSED
AT ONCE OF THE MYSTICAL AND THE NATURAL.
THE ETHEREAL AND STYLIZED CAST OF THE
WORLDS I CREATE ACT IN FAMILIAR WAYS; THEY
ROW BOATS,RIDE HORSES,TOUCH ONE ANOTHER
AND STAND QUIETLY. YET THESE ACTIVITIES,FAR
FROM SEEMING MUNDANE, GUIDE US AS
VESTIGES OF MYTHICAL EXPERIENCE.
MY AESTHETIC, I HOPE,ILLUMINATES A PLANE
OF EXISTENCE VISIBLE NOWHERE ELSE EXCEPT
IN THE PORTALS OF MY PAINTINGS AND
COLLAGES. IT IS THE SUMMATION OF A LONG
AND INTRICATE PROCESS OF REFINEMENT.
