A lot of my abstract work deals with horizons and/or distance. There is something below the surface - below the line - and it's trying to come to the fore. Either that, or it's fading away. Maybe both. This theme or idea surfaces again and again.

There are lots more where these came from. These are examples from some of the themes and ideas I have been exploring: Anatomy, Decay, Objectification and Perfection. In our world, the body is ubiquitously seen as just another venue for the struggle between Commerce and Authenticity.

Automatic Ink

(AVAILABLE)

















Ink and Pastel on Paper, 24" x 18"
(AVAILABLE)

Intrigued by Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, I put a brush on some paper and saw where it took me. The pastel- red and green- just seemed like it needed to be there. In my opinion, process and negative space are as important as surface and content. A work of art is a thing that exists through time, not in one place or moment.
