As a painter, I want to give you the power to see whatever images, symbols, or interactions you need to see in my compositions.
This is why I decided to paint a set of 36” square canvases with a palette limited to black, white, and grays mixed from them. Thus, the variables at play were value, shape, and the combination of shapes to form a composition. From the beginning, I decided to limit my shapes to basic geometric forms: square, rectangle, line (well, not true one-dimensional lines, which would be quite invisible), and circle. This decision resulted from my 2020 reading and writing on Russian Suprematism as championed by Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935).
