Paintings, Drawings, and Such
I look for relationships between elements: the connection that develops between two colors that sit adjacent to each other, or similar hues that are placed apart; the combination of different languages of lineal style, whether by differing curvature or thickness; and, perhaps most of all, in the movement of the eye, how combination of line and shape blurs—or heightens—the difference between what they do.
Relationships are remarkable in how they alter the understanding of their components. Two colors in connection creates what one shade alone cannot perform: a yellow can describe a warm light when backed up by the blue of half an hour after sunset, which also, in return, wouldn’t be the emerging night that it is without the yellow.
I find that such relationships are what evoke the intimate, and the personal—memories, emotions, and all that lies in between.
This idea of connection took me to animation—where each frame informs the one that follows—but also stays to inspire physical mediums. Connections between different elements, which often become tangled and complicated, seem to imitate interactions between living beings.
