My current work is rooted equally in the language of abstract painting and in the temporal nature of the moving image.   In applying acrylic and urethane paints on transparent cast acrylic panels, I repeat, pair, overlap, reverse, and re-sequence ensembles of chromatic areas and seamless shifts of lines and values. These works are rhythmic compositions of discrete frames in which the relationship between parts inherently informs the logic of a continuous whole. These wall-based installations -- from the modestly scaled to the panoramic -- use the structure of filmic space to link the concrete and the atmospheric through a sequence of encounters. Through investigations of specific color relationships, value shifts, dimensional modulations of transparency, and compositional structures, I seek rhythms that are fleetingly present in such elusive moments as when overhearing a fragment of music only as it fades away, essentially catching hold of bits in a stream of information before it disappears.  In my work, I try to make more tangible the act of recognition, recollection and anticipation driven by a desire to understand the present moment in the space between attentive perceiving and the peripheral subconscious.
