"I’ve always found geometry to be a grounding vehicle for abstraction. It can act as an architecture that needs no explanation. It doesn’t require a reference to things in the world and can open the possibility of a
wordlessly rich experience. Being a painter with a history and practice of yoga and meditation I feel a certain affinity with both Agnes Martin and Kasimir Malevich, each of whom engaged in painting that sought to elicit
in the viewer what Mal- evich referred to as 'pure feeling.' I understand this to be a non-reactive or non-polarized ‘emotion’... that is, ‘feeling’ not gen- erated as a response to something but which sim- ply exists as a deep and natural substratum."
