My current work explores the passage of time beyond our lifespan. We are now in a unique position to understand not only the evolution of our own species, but also to comprehend the physical world that existed long before we humans made our modest appearance. Through this understanding we have gained a glimpse into the future on how our relationship with our environment may develop and what legacy we may leave on our world.

The essential proposition of gauging what is needed versus what is wasted in our lives extends from the real to the hyper real. In an age of industrial, digital and genetic revolution, aspects of life can be viewed as perpetually self-sustaining systems, or excessive consumption leading to irreversible loss.

I paint perspective fractalinear geometry with light, color and aerial perspective to explore these ideas. While the traditions of western painting inspire my work from my formal education, my childhood of comics, cartoons and robot toys continue to fuel my imagination. Monumental, minimal forms merge with minute repetitive textures to create images influenced both by Renaissance tapestries and the digital crawls on a massive scale. Kinetic robotic clusters and vessels dominate the foreground to bridge the gap between formal abstraction and narrative painting. Landscape, infrastructure, transportation, linguistics and mass communication are unified to expand, colonize, and continue the story.

Through the act of creating a tactile image in all its physicality, I seek to return the viewer to individual reality and emotional standing. Painting is a time based organic process based as much in thought as it is in action. To that end, I construct images with material divisions that are at once unified. My goal is that the viewer may take from these images some unique personal memory blended with a sense of new discovery.
