The work involves puzzles and landscape; figures in landscape, and landscape in figures. Space becomes figure, and figure becomes space.With each stroke, it’s either a step in the right direction, or a mistake. I stay present in my body and use my felt sense, because it’s easy to give up or push a painting too far. My work is about new forms created in negative space by brushstrokes surrounding dominant figures. Figure ground relationship becomes blurred, as ground takes on its own significance.Gesture and dynamic juxtaposition are important. As in meditation, it’s possible to see forms and thoughts mixing into each other. The puzzle is putting them together in a new way, and wondering what they mean.
