Superdrive, 2014, pigmented beeswax on panel, 20 x 60 x 2 inches
“Having been schooled in a rigorously minimalist fashion, I
am driven to break away from the panel and create outside the box.
Color, minimalism, science, and mathematics have interested me throughout my
painting career. My use of material is the unifying thread that ties these
concerns together. I am a surface fetishist.
“This work, from my series Soft Geometry, juxtaposes my interest in geometry with my desire to
deconstruct strict parameters. I challenge the visual properties of the
sculptural, translucent, sensual, natural beeswax to create shapes that appear
plastic looking and factory made. This reflects my occupation with contemporary
society: the need for hard edge perfection, consumerism and obsession with
technology. Complex societal conditions have impelled me to simplify my visual
language.”
