I've never liked green. It's the marquee color of the organic—everything I instinctively resist in favor of the pseudo and synthetic. Green is the default: the world as it's supposed to be.
This work uses the chroma key green of film and video production as a starting point to create surfaces that function as placeholders, ready to receive a "real" image that may or may not ever appear.
The black in these works is not a border or a frame. It's tectonic-channeled negative space that pressurizes and partitions the fields, the way a stained-glass window holds light inside its leading—it is where the "I" enters these compositions. The green glows differently in each zone, sometimes as if illuminated from within or highlighted by an external ghost light, shifting between acid and lime, yellow and emerald. The color I dislike most has become what I can't stop projecting onto.
