Bank Rock Bay, Number 8

This work is part of an original landscape/dreamscape series known as "The Bank Rock Bay Series," named for the small inlet of water hiding just north of the boat lake and south of The Delacorte Theatre in New York's iconic Central Park. This is one of five works in the the 22 painting series depicting a snow event. Each image is dominated by the circle, which represents the ‘totality’ of life. The circle is one of the great primordial symbols of human kind, and emblematic of life, death and resurrection itself: You are born, you grow, you go and you come back. By using the square form as my support, I obliterate any traditional sense of boundary or separation between the elements, further promoting a feeling of connectivity between all facets of the scenes, where air, water and land cohabitate as a single, living, breathing presence. It is my intention that each painting not only communicate on a visceral level with the viewer, but with each of the other paintings, as well, creating a dialogue between scenes that is lyrical, electric and engaging.
