streams.....

streams of consciousness...along side of image...written words..letters...lllrrttttuuuuuxxxxxnnnn....they'r in my work...words and letters in a stream of conscious and unconsciousness...trusting the flow...discovering the uncompromising truths that belie the process of constant looking, drawing, administering marks, color...building texture, arranging forms...composing...painting...it is one process among many that employ these univeralities...that ideally can teach you to love, to accept, to have compassion and reverence....it is a process at times that can stop all time...make things clear, invite the spirit, bring back the awe of lost moments...rush ahead to the prophetic....at the same instance this process can make you giddy, and bent over with laughter...speaking to the absurdities; the underlying joy behind most things...the certainties, uncertainties, the ambiguities, the truths, the lies and every little and big thing in between...I give thanx to the Great Mystery of life for at least having had the chance to glimpse...

My paintings express my continually evolving response to everything i come in contact with - people, conversations, music, film, poetry, literature, street signs, nature, art etc.. The work is about trying to break through the physical to a world beyond that is more real - color, texture and inadvertent images that grow out of the process of painting are the tools used to discover this world beyond. As of late I think of my work as one would consider the life of cells. They are real and exist despite our ability to see them. Without them we could not exist. They hold him them history, beauty, balance and wonder. They communicate with each other silently without explaining. They continue to evolve, mutate and produce life.
