Whale Bones

Just as Barnett Newman used his "zips" to convey feelings upon his paintings, so I have reconstructed the minke whale bones to display an emotional reverbration upon a perfunctory background. The bones once placed upon the landscapes, are allowed to display themselves in a static manner that is both confounding, immaculate and comedic.

You should be ashamed!

Bridges

The "Bridges" series was mainly based off of two events. The first was the viewing of a documentary film called "The Bridge" which was about the suicides that happen on the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. Around that same time I had a close friend tell me, in a humorous manner, that my art would be worth lots of money once I had passed away. The "Van Gogh Effect" he called it.

Being an artist I question if I have doomed myself to financial suicide. I take in everything in my life as a source of inspiration and subjects to explore. Many of these "Bridge" works are done on Cardboard. This is not only due to the malleability of the material but also the archival quality, so as the artist ages and deteriorates with time, so will these works.

I began to start a combination of these two ideas, while also trying to create a functional abstraction that would carry weight even to the more casual art viewer. I started with a basic picture of the Golden Gate Bridge; something like a tourist postcard, and used that as the visual platform, warping and mutating the image to fit the conceptual sketches I had done beforehand. The color pallet also derives from the same photo, and the abstract red pieces are based off of automatism sketches done while having conversations with people about different indiscriminate subjects.
