With this work, my intention is to guide the viewer’s eye through a series of invented spaces. I am inspired by Hitchcock films, particularly his use of unusual camera angles. I choose to reveal my fasteners and to construct work simply. I do so to allow the viewer to walk through the steps of construction, to build up to the final image.
With the new series, I continue to indicate volume with lines and planes. The wall, the floor and forms that cascade from wall to floor all interest me. There is a kind of composed cacophony in the work, with grand aspirations to the kind of energy that one projects into the Prison print series of Piranesi or into the tunnels of Martin Ramirez's drawings. The work is moving toward abstraction and my new challenge is to reach a level of poignancy that I have satisfied up to this point through the inclusion of representational images. The rhythms of choreography, aspects of fashion and many kinds of music pave the way for me to venture in new directions.
