Statement

In my work I try to develop a pliable, flexible line capable of interaction with various other lines to form more intricate images. The complexity of the line transforms and reverses positive and negative aspects of the space. One sees images in which the boundaries exceed the spatial planes which contain them. Balance of forms in different spatial planes augments the compositional structure of my work. The background is also essential to the total feeling of the work, as it becomes either a means to complete the image or a way to disperse and merge the forms.
