Transformative "The geometrical visions that are my paintings are constructed from a vocabulary of fragmented gestures gleaned from the collision and dissection of overlapping grids systems. My working process resembles choreography or architecture since it employs a given methodology to discover an unpremeditated outcome. I make editing decisions on what to join and what to elide intuitively, based on the body sense of what feels right being pulled out from the grid. The paintings are therefore expressive and subjective. Constructs and spaces exist at the edge of stability, which attracts me because of the possibilities that are opened for transformation within the logical diagram.

Two deeply held experiential periods of my life as an artist have informed this work. The first is as a painter of plein air landscapes and the second as a painter of pattern derived from Islamic geometry. Nature, memory and time are evoked both visually and tactilely as gesture collides with the precise isometric structures that serve as ephemeral gateways, hurdles and enclosures."
