Shift

"untitled" acrylic, wax on paper

24"x32", 2008

I was asked to post some of the statements I made about my current work: the work that is represented in the Shift exhibition.

Shift

v.

To move to a different position, or be moved to a different position.

n.

A change in the position of a spectral line representing a change in frequency. 

This work is intended to invite and/or provoke a visual shift. The shift can be phenomenal, metaphoric, and/or allegoric. These works are to be joyous objects of contemplation: a bit clumsy, a bit gosh, but unapologetically optic.

I have been considering:

Biological systems

String theory

Profundity

Incarnational theology 

Fractals 

Semaphore signaling

Joy
