My tiny 4 year old hands swished gobs of red on the left, blue on the right, together into one massive shape of purple. Eyes wide, I remember a “oh” escaped my surprised, delighted soul. The movement, the weighty shape, the miracle of creating a color. Astonsishing.
All my life I have been a person who sees deeply.I look at, onto, into, around, through. I FEEL a profound “soaking in” as I precieve detail in light, color, shapes, texture, tones, weight, contrasts. My perception resonates with synesthesia where one sense co-activates my other senses.
In my art I endeavour to use my senses to seize moods, describe situations and develop imagery that creates a distinctive atmosphere for each piece. I make marks that breathe, fly, scream, dent, scatter. I paint colorful shapes that soften, have flavor, sound, and are buried, then unearthed. Representational or abstract, the work and its mediums tells me what it wants to reveal.
Through its direction, I can locate it outside my self where it can live.
