LINE AND COLOR
My initial objective with this series was to draw on the disappearance of print as a basis for a
large collage. The strong horizontal elements suggest naturaly occuring forms.
Black and White Horizontal Build One
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
24 X 32 / 2014
The composition relies on a subtle tension between the deconstructed print and the white
horizontal elements.
Black and White Horizontal Build Two
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
30 X 40 / 2014
I used inexpensive four-color newsprint from a variety of sources, in combination with oils ,
acrylics, and pencil .
Apache - Line Painting One
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
36 X 24 / 2012
As the materials were broken down and reapplied, the text and imagery in the newsprint
became disassociated, reducing into pure form, texture and color. As this process continued, the
implications of the piece seemed to expand.
Ulysses - Line Painting Two
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
72 X 48 / 2012
The use of stark white horizontal bars in this work i l lustrates the conflict between depth and
surface, between continuity and dismemberment . It is peaceful , yet disconnected.
Line Painting Twelve
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
40 X 30 / 2014
In the color series I am interested in the relationship between language and color, especially
the way in which these systems compliment and contradict each other.
Fluorescent Triptych One
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
72 X 36 / 2013
The deconstructed materials speak to themes l ike loss, recovery, adaptation, and resurrection.
The materials are fairly common, including posters, packaging, and newsprint .
Yellow/Black - Color Diptych Two
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
48 X 36 / 2014
The modified and truncated words i l lustrate how easily language is corrupted, and the fragile
nature of memory.
Slanted/Enchanted - Color Panel One
Oil, Acrylic, Pencil, and Collage
48 X 36 / 2014
