Sonic No.10, 2007, 42 1/4 x 50 inches, Acrylic on canvas

My intention is to create imagery with a sonic resonance where there is no starting or ending point; capturing a fragment of infinity. There are no two times when a painting will look the same, as it appears to be perpetually shifting. The paintings occupy an ambiguous zone, existing between sound and vision, and resonating with optimistic idealism.
