My inspiration for the creation of abstract images is the never-ending fluctuations of energy and matter as seen in interstellar space. I believe these far-flung aggregations of evolving matter to be the essence of truth and beauty. In my opinion, this endless evolution of chaos toward order represents the highest level of absolute potentialities, a timeless representation of a seemingly endless universe. My objective is to meld order with disorder, thus creating a striking harmony between the two extremes. By combining clear geometric delineations with the ambiguity of free flowing paint, I hope to demonstrate the primordial relationship between order and chaos. When viewing my paintings - the eye has a tendency to flip back and forth between negative and positive space. Diametricism is the word that I have coined to describe this focal phenomenon.
