Statement
My story began decades ago. It is about my passion to understand structure and patterns found in the seen and invisible world. The insights I have gained underlie the conceptual framework for the body of my work. My creative works bear a relation to the natural world and the mathematical patterns and structures found in natural forms. Look and listen... nature is a polyphonic symphony of rhythms patterns, colors and sounds.

This work begins with a square canvas to explore symmetry and a geometric conception on a two dimensional plane. It is based on a grid with linear extensions of bounded and unbounded spaces. The square unit module serves as a unifying element and consists of the sum of multiples of these units that become an interlocking pattern that is distributed over a field. The central core consists of rotated patterns, cutting across and overlapping contour lines that result in subdivided spaces, color shifts and fragmentation. My interest is to show a rhythmic pattern through repetition, transition, movement and change. It represents the structures and patterns that are a result of forces in nature and environmental factors.
