Attracted to rhythms in pattern and design, I play with the subtleties of perception by testing the limitations of vision with color and composition. I have an affinity for perfection.The marks I make, however mechanical they appear, show the slight of hand in their arrangement.The magic of any given piece is when it comes closest to my interpretation of ‘perfect’. Successful pieces are a harmonious manifestation of my color sensibility—being a product of the 80’s— and a dialog that I am dreaming up between my vision and the visual pioneers of the 50’s and 60’s, primarily those of Minimalism and Op Art.

This work comes from, and hopefully alludes to, a certain state of mind. It is kind of like staring through a chain link fence and loosing one’s sense of depth in your field of vision.With the use of color and line, I aim to create a dance between the eye and the brain.
