Installation Paintings

The Installation paintings approach a scale normally reserved for sculpture and architecture. As in architecture the materials and means of the paintings serve to define the surrounding space rather than fictive space. Each painting presents a single color on a vast scale. Installed facing the wall, the painting is approached from the back, creating a private viewing space. This installation encourages a close, physical experience of color – there is no backing-off. The color extends laterally to such a degree that the viewer is completely immersed. These works, though mural-sized, retain the intimacy of easel painting.
