Figurative Series
Through experimentation with my favored medium, the metal ball chain, I discovered its surprising versatility. Not only is it an ideal element for creating sculptures and installations, but it can also serve as a unique canvas for painting. This realization led to the creation of the Figurative Series, where I use the ball chain as support for images that I paint on the metal balls. In doing so, I favor portraits and human figures that regain their vitality and aliveness through the movement and fluidity of the metal balls. Portraits hand painted on steel beads, creating movement and kinetic energy when touched. White painted wood header frame can be wall or ceiling mounted.
