In many paintings the viewer remains on the outside looking in. Inspired by traditional Chinese landscape painting where the viewer is invited to enter the landscape with temples and paths proving a place to land within the painting. My goal with this series of studies called “Constructs”, is to create a place to land , or a platform, for the viewer to be immersed within the painting’s abstract layering of saturated colors and water-charged washes.
With multiple platforms one can move through the composition from one to the other changing your perspective within the abstract color field.
Another series studies suspending the platform within the painting, a spring board for landing and moving back and forth through the composition. A visual anchor.
Platform as a portal.
The constructs offer a home base for touring out into the loose and playful washes — harvesting from the biodynamic color fields.
