This continuity is made up of cadence, a rise and fall of intensity, and rhythm, a certain relativity of proportion. I am using cadence and rhythm as concepts, and by applying the abstraction of nature to them, the basis for my personal statement in painting is formed. The flower is my chosen image. Its life is short, it is delicate and it suggests animated form. By magnifying the flower and using it as the skeletal framework, the elements of form, line and color portray its exclusive spirit. The essence of the spirit is defined as it is placed in two dimensional compositional space by form that is surrounded by interchangeable depth.masters thesesZIPJPEGPDFengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
