Welcome to the site! I appreciate the narrative that accompanies these abstract motifs. While the geometric abstractions have an enjoyable Haring-esque quality, I’m especially attracted to Bird Bath, for its organic undulations. The rather small scale of the physical piece no doubt adds to the density of the space. While I don’t see the metallic qualities of the gold coloration, I imagine the different media offer more variation in opacity and semi-transparency. The blue and red colors moving throughout the composition offer visual stability as a counterpoint to the more erratic directionality of the shapes, but I see the work as fully non-objective. Similarly, the work entitled It’s an Elephant shares a haptic, gestural sensibility. While there is a hierarchy of form in this painting, the contrasts in the value pattern keep the visual movement active and subject matter rather ambiguous.
