Artist Statement
I play with how the eye filters what the mind perceives as spacial depth. By using tonal shifts, varying mark-making gestures, and different paint finishes I demonstrate Gestaltism. Gestaltism is a psychological theory postulating that the mind uses negative space, shape association, and tonal cues to dictate depth and meaning through vision. My goal with this series is to experiment with what is necessary for the mind to see depth and decipher meaning.
