Overlapping fields of color and suggestions of line and light are used in my painting to create an atmosphere of space between geometric forms.   Loosely inspired by elements found within landscape and still-life painting, the figures and forms are replaced by color planes.  Color interacts with itself, creating light and depth.  Through the intentional process of painting but heavily aided by coincidence, the chromatic forms and planes battle for  dominance on the surface, leaving others to be swallowed by another.  Through this dynamic but sensitive interplay between transparent and opaque shapes and through the suggestion of emerging and receding forms, the foreground and background become interchangeable.   Time becomes marked and space becomes limiltess.
