"Icurrently work with a kind of soft geometry of simple rounded shapes and fields of color.
I use stencils, paint rollers, and spray paint, which minimize the presence of my hand while al- lowing me to cover larger areas with a minimum of attentive movements. As well as a preferred ‘imperfection’ that the use of a stencil can offer, non-measured placement of form can create un- expected asymmetries suggest-
ing a universe of gravitational at- traction/repulsion, compression/ expansion. My vocabulary has been informed at different times by minimalist work, color field painting, shaker furniture, house painting, sci-fi, color theory, trips to India and meditation practice."
