I paint primarily with spray paint on the back of a paper-thin, clear panel of vacuum-form plastic.

This body of work, REVELATIONS, interprets the invisible building blocks of the universe, as perceived by the trails of sub-atomic particles, fleetingly captured in the detectors of the super-colliders of particle physicists.

Each painting is created by destroying an older work with paint stripper which contorts and corrodes the thin, clear material that is my “canvas.” This step mirrors the process of destruction that makes sub-atomic particles apparent. The background is repainted with spray paint, through which, a composition of spirals, arcs, and straight lines is mechanically etched. These cleared lines are then pigmented with glitter and nail polish. 

Heating, sandwiched between glass panels, creates a flatter “object” enhanced by foamy textures and organic edges. Careful inspection rewards the viewer with spatial interactions among the lines of scintillating color suggesting un-measurable dimensions of inner space and exotic energies dissipating.
