description:
I wonder at the nature of reality: is everything a product of emerging and converging elements of the physical world, or is there a separate plane of reality apart? I am also intrigued by the consequences of the philosophical traditions such as materialism and metaphysics which focus on these questions. My work makes use of both Western and Chinese artistic processes and philosophies, derived from a shifting set of axioms with which to view the world; allowing for altering paradigms in how we think and perceive. The physical presence of my painting plays an important role in creating a resonant space shared between viewer and work.
