ARTIST STATEMENT/BIO: "The impetus for these paintings is derived primarily from images of the galaxy that have been flashed back to us from satellites and space missions. What has been so provocative to me about these images are the ways in which their visual forms bind to their psychological content.
My study of light, for example, is also a meditation on the nature of illuminations. My interest in space is both haptic and philosophical, that is to say, besides the felt response one may have to deep or shallow space, these spaces are also a meditation on infinity and finitude. And scale, physically and psychologically, is meant to extend from the most potent to the most cloistered, between the grand and the infinitesimal, the macrocosmic and the microcosmic.
These images and their varying visual and psychological components - fragility and persistence, assuredness and doubt, the sublime and the gross - are forced to contend with each other within a single world as analogues for what is ultimately our destiny."
