Small Windows #121

Two concerns have been central to my work for many years--the nature of light and the balance between suggesting a subject and defining it. Following a long exploration of imagined landscapes, my attention shifted to the interplay of light and architectural structure. In the City series (2001 – 2002), there is a suggestion of urban structures set in a light permeated haze, and a balancing of atmospheric effects against the mass of the buildings. Prompted by the play of light and shadow across a curtained window, the paintings of the Scrim series (2002 – 2004) include minimal suggestions of built structures. "Window Pieces" (2005 - ongoing) makes reference to architectural framework as I continue to explore interior and exterior light, atmosphere and mass. With the skewed blocks of light and shadow of the "Sonia" series (2006 - ongoing), the architectural references have been further reduced while maintaining structural solidity.
