I’ve been thinking about time and its various incarnations and for this past year, specifically, the time of noon. It’s not a “me” subject—I’m a night person. That makes it a bit challenging. I start with the color that seems appropriate and then go from there. I draw a lot on the canvas—line to me is a vector among a field of energy. I’ve always been interested in expansion, structure and in the creation of a space that is full, containing a kind of presence. The paintings are constructions—mysterious and novel: they have to have surprise. For more information about my work, please contact me at vs@pacific.net.
