VARIATIONS ON DELIVERANCE

My inspiration for the paintings in this series comes from a single hexagram in the iChing--#40/Deliverance. In the six lines of this hexagram, the broken lines suggest openness, the unbroken lines resistance. In playing with the positive and negative spaces of this hexagram’s broken or unbroken lines, I discovered some dramatically different visual effects.

The paintings in this series are minimal in composition, but stylistically complex and multilayered. I first apply rough layers of plaster and pigment, followed by thin layers of oil paint and cold wax, which is then sanded and carved and stained to reveal a complex, map-like substrata.

Works ranging in size are available on paper and panel.
