I am a contemporary realist painter whose Reflection series focuses on "the new still life". I am influenced by the elegance of quantum physics, and I wish to explore ways of creating environments that help myself and the viewer see the unexpected and hopefully beautiful fusion or synthesis of disparate objects.
I ask such questions as,: What is consciousness if all objects are really energy? How does this focus affect visual perception?
My still life's juxtapose everyday objects intuitively including both geometric and biomorphic forms, with out considerations of common usage. Hopefully the viewer appreciated the pure forms as such in each unique composition. My set ups are about energy not narrative.
I reconsider space through the usage of mirrors and reflective surfaces. Hanging mirrors and other floating objects defy gravity. My recent addition of Hubble telescope images helps reframe my still life set ups in a more universal space.
