The challenge of making images without observation of the natural world allows me to explore an interpretation of nature that is purely imaginary. In much of the work I try to challenge the parameters of the known visual world in a picture. For example in A Universe in a Forest there is no ground allowing the elements of the picture to hang together creating a forest that resides nowhere and at the same time everywhere with out boundaries. I purse abstraction but never quite get there, with the belief that it will by chance open up an undiscovered entrance into a new image or feeling. The properties of paint are used to express emptiness in the positive sense, flow and change, and composition as a devise to allow the viewer to either observe, or enter and feel the image.
