Commentary

The imagery, whether representational, nonrepresentational or abstract, are conveyed as organisms, manifested by positive and negative energy through varied streams of perpetual motion. The shapes sometimes clash and sometimes interact, creating a balance of chaos and harmony with emphasis on shape change through the interplay of light and shadow. Within the context of the subject matter, there may be hidden symbolism, abstract elements and related representational forms. Using the metamorphosis of nature as another influence, I bring to the surface the underlying energy from which these changes occur. A seed becoming a flower or winter changing into spring. I cannot take for granted the beauty, mystery and wonder that exists before me. As an artist and human being, my goal is to reach a higher plain and to transcend a mundane existence.
