                                                                      - Artist Statement -

     When a simple vertical line finds itself in the midst of accidental organic chaos, a sense of directionality and stability is introduced. The line itself can act as a tool used to dissect the richness of such a curvature while assisting in the realization of one’s own ability to abandon all preconceived conceptions of time. 
     A carefully selected variety of gradation and color shades the spaces created between these collisions, simulating an on demand journey of vast depth through the viewer’s subconscious knowledge. There is a discovery of the color of the mind. At times rich in a melancholic emotion, the painting does not create these sensibilities as much as evoke what already lays dormant inside the mind.
