A focus on composition, pattern and color has driven most of my recent work lately. These particular pieces are the product of recent investigations into the repetition and compositions of patterns found in textiles. A blanket, a guard, a type of warmth and a sheath, for me textiles represented not only something that could be utilitarian but also something that had the ability to produce a separate art form all together. That duality drove me to explore the compositional nature of textiles and what the basic structural pattern found in them meant to it as a whole. My aim was then to draw out a type of graphic legibility found in the structure of each pattern and to search for how they can duplicate and repeat effectively while also searching for a beauty and a type of clarity amongst the juxtaposed layers and irregular order. These paintings are what was rendered out of those investigations and these compositions of color and form reflect a pause in those instances.
