Language of Color Statement
Since I can remember, I’ve been attracted to color—aware that it evokes a visceral response in me—something different than spoken word or musical harmony. To me there is something emotional and intuitively interactive about pure colors and forms in relationship to each other. In this work I decided to explore the potential of the tools that I’ve been using to create my more traditional, photographically oriented work. Specifically, the latest digital editing tools, together with my 8 color printer that utilizes archival pigment inks.
Working with the smoothest possible color gradients, overlays, and a very broad palette of colors, I have tried to create a cohesive body of work that has continuity and a sense of style that seems meaningful and provocative.
In many cases, this is meditative work, the meaning of which will be different for each viewer. At best, I hope the audience will relate to some internal and universal essence. As always in my work, a way to communicate at a deeper level.
