The Red,
White & Blue series
Although metals still have a special
place in my art, in
recent years, I have opened up to other materials to convey meaning
through texture shape and value. Oscillating in the gray area between
abstract and figuragive, most of my work have personal narratives
attached to them. However, I'm not interesting in telling my story, but
invite viewers to become critically engaged with the artwork.
The Red, White
& Blue series, exhibited during the 2009 season at three
separate shows throughout New York City, is a three-part installation,
each with its own story. Red
is based on a Japanese myth about love, White is a visual depiction of a
merely detactable sound, and Blue
expresses a state of relationships between two people.
