As an artist I use windows and grids often in my work. Windows are structural and organizing devices that indicate a space within versus the one outside-circumscribing different if not opposing worlds. Windows can imply a sense of self and the other, the familiar and the unknown, the safe and the risky. Similarly, grids denote a screen or barrier- a foreground-that blocks out the space beyond or reveals it in precise units.

There is always the tension between the ordered and the chaotic, the planed and the haphazard, the mechanical and the natural. Specifically in the interrupted landscape series, the squares are imposed planned and competing with the organic fluid shapes of nature. I hope to find harmony and balance in opposing forces.
