Energy Series

ARTIST STATEMENT When I look to nature, I see energy everywhere, like an invisible liquid or gas. I feel this energy is composed of freely moving molecules that can inhabit any life form and adopt any shape. I think of every living being as a container of this life energy. When I look to the sky or on a white paper I see millions of tiny energy molecules, they are dynamic, coming and going in a millisecond. It seems they go in every direction, like people in a busy crowded square; everyone walking around but not bumping into one another. I feel this energy like an atmosphere that Human beings inhabit. Humans don’t see this energy; like the fish in the ocean they are unaware of the water they swim in, although they are caught up in the currents. The physical eye cannot see this energy, only the inner eye. It cannot be photographed so I paint this energy using sgraffito to provide it with a visual form. I use fluid dynamic forms to represent different ways this energy is manifest in the world that the physical eye can see. I use the layers and sgraffito to build up a sense of 3D to convey how this energy permeates every layer of our being and so that the viewer is invited into the work, like stepping through a doorway into another realm of reality. I chose sgraffito technique for this series because the physical act of scraping a top layer reveals what is beneath. This is my way of penetrating material reality to make visual the world of energy below the surface.
