sorry, no info for these pieces...
I’m not trying to convey a specific idea or concept. I’m more interested in creating a visual phenomenon.  I want the finished product to be surprising more than I want it to be resolved.  I’m painting them like a D.J. who is playing his own songs.  My objective is to create something unexpected using different combinations.

The Diagrams Series seeks to establish order through the mapping of multiple visual cues. These cues include specific, compositional samples of the architecture of contemporary art museums and the contemporary art that is enshrined within these structures. This sampling is achieved through a diagrammatical folding and scoring of the raw canvas, creating an allegorical foundation for the structure of painting. Space, organization, pattern-seeking, discerning solution are all explored in this most recent series of paintings.
