Abstract painting and figurative drawing.

My current body of work, "RelationShifts" represents a move toward greater abstraction even as my connection to this work is stronger. I begin with a fairly symmetrical grid and proceed to establish a dialogue with each of the elements that form the pattern. The rigidness of the grid offers an anchoring safety net while also inviting rebellion.  Through a layering process each element will transform and possibly abandon their original place in the grid. The dynamic among all the players-layers is always changing. The restraints of the grid are further reinforced as I limit my materials primarily to white gesso and black chalkboard paint which, in fact, provide an infinite range of subtle possibility.
