When, Then and Them
24" x 30"
Acrylic and tape on wood panel
This piece references "Prearranged Juncture". It goes back to talking about the different layers of my personal history. Each layer here represents some one very close to me. I used numerous stencils and stamp, including a Chinese chop, to create the various patterns.

Prearranged Juncture
24" x 30"
Acrylic on wood panel

This piece represents layers of time. The numerous layers make the painting vibrate as a whole. The more time taken to view it the more the layers fuse together, making it more difficult to decipher between each layer. It introduces a personal history. The patterning allows me to control the manipulation of each layer, confronting the laws of past, present and future in a non-chronological manner.

Untitled
12"x24"
Acrylic on canvas
This piece was influenced by an Irish actress/model who yelled a lot and just had a lot of energy. I wanted to create illusions of different layers and picture planes, almost confusing the eye of where each one sits. I also am attracted to the balance of the shapes and how they are composed on the support.
Untitled
9"x12"
Acrylic on canvas
This painting was done from a photograph I took at Silver Spring, Fl. I was really attracted to the reflections of the trees and wanted to mimic that along with the camouflage of the gator's head. The only real indications that this is a reflection on water are the bubble ripples and the ripples around the head.
