The theme
of this highly charged painting is the mythic concept of cosmic
origins. This painting is incredibly detailed; writhing with
numerous colors and various designs which symbolize the endless
energy and flow of spirit and matter. My abstract paintings
are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related
to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding
process of life. While working on paintings that are this detailed
and colorful, I become so immersed in the work that applying
paint becomes a meditative process through which I strive to
achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept of mushin).
The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest
in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling
through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily
inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote
tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my
visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India,
Nepal, and most recently, Thailand.
