Fish Series

In 2000-2001, I lived and worked literally high in the mountains of Venezuela in a remote forested site. I was drawing and working daily surrounded by huge plant forms. Only very thin trails connected the house and studios. This leafy environ, devoid of horizon or sky, eventually began to suggest the sensation of being amongst a school of swimming fish. Not able to see much more than the most proximal of forms, I began to envision another style of spatial concept and found myself thinking again of fish.

The statement often received regarding my fish series is, “You must really like fish.” The interesting thing is I don’t really think of these paintings as “fish”. To me this body of work consists of an abstract assemblage that encompasses color, movement and light. The use of mixed media and layering gives an almost three dimensional feel as well. They have been categorized by their metal leaf backings of gold, silver, Tahiti (after the beautiful blue waters of Polynesia) or variegated. Additionally, they have a sense of rhythm that allows the viewer to turn the pieces either horizontally or vertically as well.
