Intersections

The Intersections Series literally interweaves two concepts/ideas – either complementary or conflicting. The result is a dynamic synergy between the concepts, with constantly changing visual interplay for the viewer. I paint two complete canvases (with the idea of interweaving them), cut one into horizontal strips and one into vertical strips (this requires a bit of courage, believe me), and weave the strips together onto one stretcher.

I realized after beginning to exhibit these paintings that I only do half of the job. People see things in the painting that I can see only after they point them out to me, while others can’t see the images at all, seeing the Intersections only as abstract color. What each person sees appears to be unique to that individual, which is delightful.
