Entangled Fields

My new paintings are about capturing energy, recognizing that composition exists even as chaos builds. They are also about mark making and drawing with line. I emulate earlier heroes like Pollock and Mitchell, who applied paint aggressively, in marks both controlled and wild. Working mostly with syringes, often from a distance, I apply paint the same way. My inspiration is drawn from physics (energy fields, string theory, quantum entanglement) and from the beautiful mess of modern life.

Recognitionism

Before Entangled Fields came recognitionism, a theory of how knowledge works disguised as a painting practice. Those canvases layer paint, collage and calligraphic marks until familiar forms surface: a classical profile, a ballerina, an apple, Einstein's equation. They show how the mind separates figure from ground and meaning from noise, using archetypes to recognize the world around us. My training in Chinese medicine, which is fundamentally pattern recognition, runs through both bodies of work.

Entangled Fields carries that search for recognition into pure energy and line.
