I have always had a love of
early Renaissance painting ( informed by many trips to Italy ).
I see the paintings and altarpieces as beautiful compositions
in beautiful color and full of varieties of beautiful abstract
shapes; this yields a formal power of its own quite apart from
the religious content of the work. A few years ago I began to
produce abstract collages within the formats of actual reproductions
of altarpieces. Recently the compositions are less formally constrained
but pieces of arches, pillars, floors, etc. are often part of
the abstract mix. This being said, the finished works are not
intented to convey any specific meaning.
