My images float in an undefined, ambiguous space. Some suggest houses, buildings, rooms, and other architectural or geometric structures. The structures sometimes evoke human presence and human interactions, and can also be seen as metaphors for internal states of being. Other works employ organic and geometric forms that create a similar effect. My work can be interpreted as pure abstraction or as self-contained narratives. An ironic humor with a meditative, existential, transcendental bent informs them. My compositions operate as visual riddles where form and void, balance and imbalance, containment and openness are continuously in play.
