IGNORANCE + JUDGEMENT

Abstract, Available, Paintings, Recent Work / By

36″x36″ | oil on canvas | 2019

About this work
I have been working with the Tibetan Mantra ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ which I discovered in a Cy Twombly painting. I have been doing works concentrating on each syllable of the mantra and it’s meaning. This painting started with the syllables ‘Pad’ and ‘Me’. Pad represents diligence which purifies igorance & judgement. Me represents concentration and purifies attachment. The painting is built upon these syllables which are painted over and masked. This is part personal journey and part social commentary … discussing the collective unconscious landscape of the times.

About this work
I have been working with the Tibetan Mantra ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ which I discovered in a Cy Twombly painting. I have been doing works concentrating on each syllable of the mantra and it’s meaning. This painting started with the syllable ‘Om’ which represents generosity and purifies ego. The painting is built upon this syllable which is painted over and masked. This is part personal journey and part social commentary … discussing the collective unconscious landscape of the times.

TOTEM I

Abstract, Available, On Board, Recent Work / By

11.25”x48” | oil on board | 2019

About this work
This work is inspired by the colour in sunsets of the Pacific Northwest. Working on a found board
informed the composition which brought to mind the rhythm of various totem poles that I have observed in this area. I’m intrigued at how the narrative in a totem works vertically.
