The Architecture of Air




This series of paintings utilizing acrylic paint and added aggregates of various types consists of textured panels and metallic paint that alternately absorb and reflect light.  The paintings focus on what happens in the air between things and spaces as light moves through various atmospheric conditions.

The images shown here are variously from exhibition situations or in home settings where the paintings have been placed for context.
