Horst

Horst displays my fascination with lines built up in layer upon layer. The paint resolved early in the process so there is much of the underlying background evident. The ground is a silver grey. The topmost layer of white lines suggests a depiction of an outline, perhaps a torso, however the painting is abstract. Lines travel from edge to edge in this painting. This evokes a grid that echoes the edges of the picture plane. The title Horst comes from a naming convention of random geological features.

I am a visual artist with a hidden disability. I mainly paint in oil on canvas. My works celebrate the process of painting, embracing changes, accidents, and discoveries made along the way. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in lines in artwork. This interest has distilled to a point where I am painting only in lines. Lines come in many forms‚ the brush stoke‚ the mark‚ calligraphy. I love the way the patterns of lines build up‚ they merge from fields into traces of energy. I am interested in the harmonies and the joining of form and the different scales at which the lines form pattern.
