Prints recall cats fighting in a bag. Lines of contained movement. Shapes painting reveals organic, fluid process in relation to surface of stone. Lines as edges (shifting planes suggesting shifting plates). So, animation and scale with remnants of Ab Ex emotionalism.

Degrees of landscape. From the literal to the figurative. Real to ideal. Levels of abstraction. Organic to geometric. Colors that move from neutral, earth tones to ethereal and back. Puzzle as a noun and a verb like painting. Puzzling. An activity AND an object.

Speckled canvas, apparently homogenous like the granite rock, variegates upon close inspection. Things, per usual, are not always as they seem.

Emotion/Logic (fluid, dynamic and/or not).
