Visual Artist and Sculptor United States
My paintings exploit and explore natural physical processes such as optics, chaos, gravity, fluid dynamics, etc. Thru the manipulation of these processes I create dynamic abstract compositions, using a highly gestural application of medium, often with multiple paintings occupying the same canvas plane, layering different process, I venture to access and harness the very nature of creation. Thru the practice of my work I endeavor to examine, challenge and expand our understanding of beauty and perception of it. Dynamic Free Casting This body of work is concerned with a process that I have come to call ‘Dynamic Free Casting’. Within this process I have developed new methods for forming concrete, which embrace an insubordinate amount of chance given the inherent fluidity and weight of the medium. My compulsion is to orchestrate as completely as possible command over the powerful forces inherent to the medium thereby pushing the limits of the materials and my ability to control them to the absolute maximum. The sculptures are a physical record of these efforts and lay the materials and process bare before the viewer while presenting me with new forms to explore. These results are the fertile ground of creation where I plough the realms of the infinite and leave new realities in my wake.
