Imagination.
I imagine color, shape, surface, form and pattern as elements in development of a visual language with which diverse narrative and poetic revelations can present themselves and be constructed. In extended periods of consideration and composition, I vascillate between this sensitivity of searching for narrative and meaning, and engaging expressive, intuitive collaboration between the medium and myself as an artist making visual decisions. The connections, ideas, associations, narratives, etc. manifest in the work at the intersection of the boundless territory of mystery and imagination and the confines of language and structure.
