ABSTRACTS

 I strive to distill form until all that remains is the vital energy, the eye of the hurricane; still, yet present and alive. This energy is created in the relationship between the elements of the painting or assemblage with each other and the negative space. Hans Hofmann wrote: "Nature's purpose in relation to the visual arts is to provide stimulus - not imitation - from it's ceaseless urge to create springs all life, all movement and rhythm, time and light, color and mood - in short; all reality in Form and Thought."
