It took me a while to realize what it is I do. I create a set of parameters to work within. The current set deals with the following words: point, line, plane, transparent, opaque, reflective, and absorptive. All of which are characteristics of drawing, painting and color.

 Point, line and plane are the beginning. The points are placed randomly and connected with line. As the lines create closed spaces planes are established. This is a pure visual phenomenon. I do not set out to make planes. Planes come into being through you the viewer seeing space in a particular way.

 Transparent, opaque, reflective, absorptive is paint and color. And it is what they, the paint and color do. It is transparent, it is reflective, etc. Paint does not do any more than that. Color is light. Color is sensation. Color is the absence of light or the breakdown of the visible light spectrum. Without light we are left with nothing.

 If you ask what it is about my initial response is to say, “Why does it have to be about anything? When did it become the responsibility of the artist to make things with meaning?” But I won’t say that. I’ll tell you they are about light and the absence of light.
