My perceptions of certain past movements in art
(most notably Northern Renaissance and Islamic
Painting) coupled with idiosyncrasy (meaning that
I often have difficulty accounting for my attraction
to some forms ... and not to others) and compulsions
about visual and technical order lead me to
making some rather odd pictures. I organize visual
elements in traditional ways emphasizing formal
aspects of structure and presentation, except that
for the sake of irritation, I often missalign or at
least compromise divergent perspective systems
of the objects depicted. The range of and orientation
to subjects within individual pictures sometimes
produce unexpected associations, and the
compilation, arrangement and execution (and
material quality) combine to hint at symbolic
interpretations.
