two-dimensional work

Painting Practice

This series is inspired by the process of making a picture by building a field of lines. The questions that interest me are: What is the color of light? What is the feeling of touch? What is the essence of breath? An important component is connecting with breath as I work. As I inhale I begin the line and complete it when it’s time to exhale. Choreographing the breath with the movement becomes a contemplative study of color, light, line, and edges.

When colored pigment disperses in water, when pencil pigment builds up on the surface of paper, subtle fluctuating light waves appear. Where the pigment congregates and where the water dominates fascinates me. The accumulated layers gain density and lightness depending on the application. The lines' edges reveal the history of their combined colors. How to make the ethereal material?

My work is influenced by 45-year yoga practice.
