Abstract Art: a language
“Abstract art” is anything but abstract. For me, it is a precise and evocative language to convey emotion, somatic sensation, spirituality, and collective experience. I use this language of color and form to explore the experiences that are too complex for words: physical pleasure, ambiguous loss, rhythm, pain, collective rage, touch, a pandemic… Other times, I learn from the story the medium tells me. The synergy between two colors, the sweep of a paint stroke, or the density of layered texture teaches me about acceptance or transformation.
