artist's statement: the etudes
the etudes are a series of visual or conceptual explorations. These are works- in-progress that investigate ideas in a concentrated or free-form way. The pieces included here might not always end up making it into a permanent body of work, but their inclusion on this site helps me to play with sequencing, and to evaluate them in a medium that allows for improvisation and the free-association of ideas and its translation into visual expression.
desk bound started as a stray visual accident, and soon morphed into an exploration of abstraction and color, foreground and background, and how to create, from a limited canvas and locality, from seemingly banal and haphazard arrangement of objects, compelling and enigmatic aesthetic constructs.
closer than they appear (etude II) coming soon
vista nova (etude IV) coming soon
