Fenestra: a body of works begun in the summer of 2017 and continued to the present, it is executed on individual panels each a two to one, vertically oriented ratio and incorporating either a Segmented, equilateral Gothic or Half-round arch. The surfaces consist of a variety of materials and mediums, including but limited to mixed-mediums paints, concrete, plaster, found objects

The shapes and proportions of Fenestra are specific to a specific ratio, 2 : 1. A doubling of the square.

Pragmatic and metaphoric, the window (Fenestra) is both a thing and concept, it admits light and air, a view into and out of, but not necessarily direct access and egress. The eyes are windows of the soul, but not the portal into it. The pane permits a view but not entry. It filters and refracts that light.
Fenestra, window in latin, focuses upon the context in which we view things, the world. Art, particularly painting has often been compared to viewing through the ‘window’ of the picture plane. It is an architectural feature serving a function. It is a thing in and of itself, but a non-thing as well, It is a piercing thus the Latin fenestra, source of our fenestration, to fenestrate; a penetration, to pierce or make an opening. The window is an emptiness within a thing through which light and air pass.

The window as both functional element and design feature, takes on meaning and that meaning is defined often by its shape, proportion and geometry. These have been governed by need and mathematics and physics.
