For 20 years I have been working exclusively in the tondo form. Roundness is fundamental to my visual thinking. The form is not only nature?s most efficient, it is also uniquely able to convey a subtle essence of interconnection, wholeness and metaphysical purpose.

I thin oil paint until it is in a very fluid form. Gravity and the physical differences of each pigment: some are heavy and settle quickly, some light settling slowly create flow patterns. I build up these flow forms over many layers, producing a luminous, subtle, rich surface. This way of working incorporates chance.

These new gilded works began several years ago. I created a small group of paintings called Entropy Undone. They were ruminations on transformation: what happens at a point of transformation? The title refers to our world; our entropic, physical plane. Things tend to degenerate in our world, yet there are moments when this degeneration stops or is reversed, when something transforms. All these works stem from that idea; imagining the point when entropy becomes undone.
