Statement
"In that I have selected incidence geometry to represent my visual intent in art, this is my most recent composition. The usage of both geometric elements creates a complex integration of intrinsic and extrinsic values. We see this dynamically through the designs. The geometric construction procedures are basically algorithmic. With the integration of straight lines and a perpendicular intersect, elliptical sections and a parabola and hyperbolas interconnects collinearly completes the geometric pictorial field with color."

"I work with the three dimensions of color, (hue, chroma, and value). Consider white and black as whitish and blackish, as there is an additive identity and additive inverse property between white and black according to Wittgenstein and Goethe where both are color. White lines on a black field are expressions of a norm that borders between logic and the empirical with the addition of other colors to balance the spatial experience. The following list of color is present in this geometric work: emerald green, burnt sienna, rouge, Napoleon pink, phthalocyanine blue, cadmium red, cerulean blue, black and white. Basically, black and white anchors the visual field of color."
