Artist Statement About The Movement Aspect in his Art:
In abstract art there is often a divide between the artist’s intent and the viewer’s interpretation.
How one perceives anything depends the individual’s subjective experience and taste.
Everyone experiences a work of art differently, creating a void between the artist and the viewer.
The original works represented here do not want to be constrained to a stagnate wall.
With the use of custom built mechanical devices they incorporate movement, allowing these abstract paintings to be viewed from any perspective or direction,
attempting to remove the viewer from one stagnant forced perspective to a point where change and discovery is the new exploration.
That our most natural state is fluidity and transition.
