The Strata Series

2015 – present

The Strata Series is a group of paintings that has occupied the bulk of my time over the last eight years. Each of these works develops as a sequence of “painting moments,” discrete events that inform each other and combine to create a unified experience where time is suspended.

The Atomic Paintings

a new series of work

This new work is inspired by the behavior of atoms and molecules, which cluster together to form something larger than themselves, and later break apart to become part of something new, then break apart again, and so on. The basic principles that dictate their behavior create endless drama and apply universally to entities both large and small.
