Paintings
I am inspired by a broad range of historical sources, maps, diagrams, pinball machines, and calligraphy. As a process-oriented abstract painter, I embrace a systematic exploration of chaos and control. My work harmonizes an array of disparate themes: esoteric expressions of cloud chambers, the didactic lines of weather maps, cartography's precise geometry, the random behavior of metal balls inside pinball machines, the unseen yet potent influences that shape our universe, and cartoon explosions. At the heart of it, these paintings harken back to the cause-and-effect dynamics of the cosmos while resembling a fireworks display unpredictably propelling energy into the night sky.
