Mixed-Media materials acrylic on hardboard with hardwood dimensional sculptures or acrylic painted objects constructed with hardwood and micro screws. Dimensionality is emphasized by sculptures, color and board, and the occasional physical alteration of the panel. Light is directed toward the sculpture to create shadow patterns that engage with the background and sculpture placement.
My Technique involves dimensional space manipulation to reflect my intention, through the interaction of light, shadow, and sculptures to go beyond the hardboard "surface" of geometric abstraction. This is through shadowing that engages the apparent and unapparent features of the work. The shadow casts strategically complement board design to create a wholistic figure-ground integration that transforms itself as placement, intensity, and frequency of ambient and directed light changes.
