My work integrates spatial and visual languages, blurring the boundaries of painting, sculpture and architecture. My practice focuses on the formal and physical dynamics of both the fabricated and natural landscapes.

I incorporate classical painting techniques with contemporary mediums as I draw on my own urban and rural lived experiences.

On first glance these are static, representational images of skies, but as the viewer moves toward and around them, the pieces become activated and participative. Because they stand off the wall, they engage the surrounding space, often appearing to float, with elements extending beyond the steel armature.

Light and color are essential to this process as I create a viewing experience both sensorial and temporal. There are ambient tones painted on the reverse sides of the panels that reflect back and incorporate this parallel surface. The gaps and openings capture light and free color from form, setting up intriguing dialogues between the intangible and the material.

The panels also cast shadows, further converging field with ground.  Because the tonal gradations change with the ambient light, this body of work takes on transitive properties and engenders a finely tuned interplay between object, environment and audience.
