Typically, a main component of my artwork is control. I use a thoughtful juxtaposition of natural organic forms and rigid geometric shapes, with a smattering of metal components and/or found objects. The result is a debate on the reality of beauty between the two opponents of technology and nature. I hope to create the impression that nature is the true arbiter of beauty, though technology circumvents its authority over and over again.
In this collection, I decided to see what would happen if my art itself stopped being philosophical, alluded technology all together, and became an utterly natural process. So I went back to youth, before notions of technique, theory, and purpose, and I painted with my hands.
The result is an homage to a variety of types of nature, most notably the aurora. An aurora is a natural display of light and colors that occurs in higher latitudes, the most well known being the Norther Lights. Other possible interpretations of what these random colors create could include galaxies or other astronomic entities and events, natural and chemical processes, or the elements of earth, air, fire, and water.
By surrendering to my own nature, and letting the paint fall where it may, The Aurora Collection lets nature dictate beauty and the end result.
