Borne out of Pandemic isolation, the Sundog Series are perceptual abstractions of chromatic fractures. They chart color through geometric formations, transmitting optical experiences of optimism through light.
As mathematical and systematic works whose visual dynamics maximize the visual expenditure of energy, they tell a story of proximity and distance through one point perspective and expanding and receding scale. With a palette of hues sourced from nature’s full spectrum, their observational relationships are painted flatly, coded with the pleasure of mixing color, testing its saturation, and rhythmically applying paint, layer after layer, with gestures of care, consistency, and measure, re-enforcing the works operational duality as both object and representation.
Becoming part blossom, polygon, labyrinth, sunrise, quilt pattern, and medicine wheel, the Sundog works interweave spatial hues and everyday references with cultural iconography, locating ephemeral experience and existential material like a compass heading.
