A COMMENT ON MY WORK
The inspiration for my work is nature in motion. The non-stop shaping and reshaping of a bank of clouds or the colliding torrents of a river tumbling down a mountain are phenomena that move me to make art. I feel impelled to look into these forms, to understand and delight in their infinite variety and dynamic patterns of form, color and line. Aided by my passion for digital video I can record, examine, and transform such fleeting moments into imagery for paintings, drawings and experimental videos. These works transcribe and re-implace a past moment in nature into an immediate presence.
