I am exploring the female figure’s movement and transitions through a color field. I am working with the concept of multi-dimensional space; our species is evolving as a we move in and out of a variety of environments and situations on a daily basis. We find ourselves in a state of constant duality, attempting to maintain symmetry within our interchanging movements. In order to express this concept, I purposely use one person in different poses, to look at the interaction of movement and negative space. My work crosses representational toward abstraction. Detailed representation is purposely placed in an abstract field upon which the figure is abstracted within that field. My compositions deal with multiple figures grouped in such a way to create rhythm, tension and equipoise. I mix complementary colors to create a muted color for the background. These background fields are made up of several muted colors of various degrees of warm and cool. The edges in my work are primarily soft, I only use hard edges to bring form forward.
