A COMMENT ON MY WORK

"Moving in Place"

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. .  Rather than capturing a past moment, these works are used to transform a dynamic and past moment in nature into a present tense experience. 

This intent is being explored through several groups within the ongoing series, "Moving in Place".
