The language of color and pattern represent what remains wrong and right at the same time. The dichotomy of stability versus instability in structures and systems is the theme. The paintings represent images from quickly evolving society structures simultaneously in decline and in renewal. Shapes evolve from making sense, to no longer making sense, and back to making sense again, moving in an uncertain rhythm. The destruction lends itself to revival. These paintings are about color in a mixed media layered luxury kind of way. Gold reflects the opulence of our post-Trumpian era. They have a happy, bright message that it will be okay, even after the chaos is over. The darker tones are the deep sadness while the lighter tones bring back the happiness of childhood or the dawn of the future to come.
