Paintings, in series

A series of larger, more complex canvases building upon smaller experiments such as paintings seen in the Paintings Color Systems Patterns section.

Generally, a kind of object (or several) appears on a complex ground.  The foreground objects are biomorphic - influenced by sculpture I make, or plant forms, or images from textbooks on microbiology.  The objects are embedded in rich environments that recall cellular construction, or in some cases borrow geometrical constructions from ancient tilework or other decorative patterns.  As usual, "decorative" turns out to have a meaning - often it refers to an idealized, abundant garden.

Largest paintings

These paintings are on unstretched canvas.  Grommets are along the folded edges of the canvas, for easy hanging.  The Afferent Zone paintings are from the Afferent Zone installation, whose parts are now dispersed.

details 

A few detail shots from the large paintings above.  I think you can identify which ones they're from.
