NOTES

Narrative content, text, symbolism, and representation have historically been important factors in my work. Jungian psychology and eastern philosophies have also framed my artistic thinking, especially the idea of coexistence of opposites, though not necessarily considering them opposing. Dialectics found in my work include: good/ evil, birth/ death/ rebirth, private/public, personal/ societal, harmless/ dangerous, lost/ found, power/ servitude, learning/ teaching, beginning/ end, masculine/ feminine, spiritual/ physical, and oneness/ fragmentation.

 

The titles for the LESSONS series simply reflected my career as a teacher/ learner, and otherwise were characterized by incorporation of text, exploring the role of underpainting with opposing colors, and selective transparent effects.
