Hypercube (Robin Egg), 2024 Oil on Canvas, 14"x 11"x1"

My art is a mystical practice in sacred geometry, wielding color and line to conjure the sensation of dynamic Platonic forms, made with oil, acrylic, oil stick, ink, crayon and liquid paper on canvas, and museum board over the past year. The optical illusions created in these pieces are born from a flat, two-dimensional surface, and can only exist within the viewer's mind. I employ Expressionism to breathe life into these four-dimensional creations, weaving whimsical arabesques that dance between figuration and abstraction.

My work is driven by a series of profound ecstatic experiences, most specifically from over a decade ago, when I experienced crippling sciatica, and was unable to walk for three months. I had visions of sacred geometric forms intermixing and overlaping our shared reality. These are the eye of GOD materialized.
​My artistic practice is rooted in my personal gnostic experience of this reality and reconciling it with the limits of material form.

he artistic traditions and inspirations for this work are 
the painters, Al Held, Peter Halley, Joseph Albers, Philip Guston, Chuck Close and Alberto Giacometti, and the sculptural work of Noguchi.  My creative process involves hours and hours of compulsive art making in the studio, which is then edited down, cleaned up, and presented to the viewer in a way that allows them to have an optical experience of the transcendental.
