Translucence

I have been exploring translucent media for 20 years. In these post-Minimal works, as much sculpture as painting, the shallow shadow box constructions of plywood and enamel literally capture light and allow it to resonate back through an attached plexiglass surface. The effect is depth and vibrancy of hue and value, where the thin layers of wax and pigment, brushed uniformly on the surface, act both to catalyze and diffuse the tempered light. The resulting color-luminosity registers the changing natural light specific to any moment of a given day.
