Artists' Resume

  Statement Since the Renaissance, painters have been interested in the illusion of space. In modern times, artists such as Robert Rauschenberg have been interested in actual space in painting. I am interested in exploring space on my own terms. I have sought to flatten or eliminate traditional references to space (horizon line, diagonal or receding lines, overlapping shapes, etc.). I am interested in discovering a new way of creating space, real or illusionary, through the resulting flatness.
