abstract
I want to make simple paintings, still, quiet, yet full of resolve. Like neon signs of florescent tubing here to advertise nothing, these paintings are monuments to their own existence. A reduction of dialogue affords these paintings freedom from the responsibilities associated with representation, which releases them from any presupposed connotations. My work is not a metaphor for something beyond art.
These works are meant to deny performance by replacing imagery with the substance of an aesthetic judgment. Their corrected sense of balance is relative to color and dimension, while the aesthetics are held at a glance.
As an artist I try to act between what I call a monumental aesthetics, and a compartmentalization of painting.
