Image: You Can't Win, 2008, Acrylic on canvas, (triptych) 120" x 72" Artist Statement: My work explores the synergy between painting and some basic concepts in physics. Criticality is when a substance radically changes form, like solid to liquid; so I tried to capture water becoming ice. Electromagentic fileds exist as particles and as waves at the same time: my canvases are spatial landscapes that can be read on either a molecular or a cosmic scale. For the group of three large black and white paintings represented here by "You Can't Win," I've chosen C.P. Snow's definition of the laws of thermodyanics. In this case, you cannot get something for nothing, because matter and energy are conserved.
