A continuum. The point at which deliberate order and reactive composition
come together. The place where aestheticism meets spontaneous textural
muscularity.

Charged by relational and discordant influences and polarities, the thrust
is to pool these diverse energies and disciplines to build up and dismantle
them at will thereby creating a new relationship between them. Art has a
design.

The result is an expression that elevates both tendencies by giving presence
to the planned and the primal, logical and visceral mind. The work is
therefore not relegated to materials, color, scale or format but rather the
philosophical relationship between chaos and control. Push and pull. Heavy
and faint. Delicate and harsh. This is the constant ingredient. Chaos has a
design.

As it relates to the viewer, my art is meant to provide all of the initial
breadth of visual information, depth of compositional drama and the
verisimilitude of style and environmental completeness to which the viewer
can then extrapolate a personal meaning. The art is non-objective but has an
agenda. The emotive is implied but perceived and exercised individually. A
continuum, the point at which the work transforms after creation.
