My
abstract paintings from 2007 to the present continue
to explore the possibilities of piling an abundance
of visual information into relatively limited space.
The style continues to mature in the form of heavily-
detailed, colorful patterns and designs that mesh
into a powerful poise between chaos and order. The
work can be described as both "tribal" and
"psychedelic", reflecting an interest in
absorbing and interpreting the world through non-intellectual
means. For me, the colors and chaos paradoxically
induce a quiet mental stillness as I allow my eyes
and mind to trail the many details without the common
present-day yoke of assigning meaning to every single
thing. Thus the artwork has become a means for inner
healing. Through the use of harmonious colors and
whimsical patterns, the viewer is allowed the space
and freedom to set aside the mind's constant 'inner
babble' in order to allow the purely experiential
flow of undefined visual information to flow unencumbered
through the mindstream.
