Artist's Statement

I believe that the objects or events that have "beauty" evoke in us feelings of pleasure. These feelings of pleasure are based on our perception that the objects or events exhibit a "truth" or an "order". We call art, mathematics, and geometry beautiful based on this. What I am going to call "Art", however, has an order that can be perceived, but not apperceived. That is, we know that there is a "truth" or "order" in a work but are unable to define it, as we can with mathematics and geometry. It is this lack of definition that maintains interest in "Art" over time.

I aspire to create this "Art" and evoke in people the emotions that I feel when discovering a beautiful form or line. I hope my work communicates directly, like music, on a visceral level, and not like literature which is intellectualized through the abstraction of language and then translated into the emotion. The music to which I liken my work, is "cool jazz" that starts with a recognizable theme, then weaves interesting rhythmic and tonal variations to create a new thing.
