Throughout past and modern scientific developments, we are learning that our planet and universe is comprised of a series of interwoven relationships. If a molecule is split in two halves, those two halves are infinitely connected in time. In an essence, there is the possibility that any particular action can cause an effect in some undetermined manner.

Now, if we examine the evolution of painting in this manner, we can begin to understand relationships that occur over time. I have decided to create paintings with any number of outcomes. I began examining the "space" between two paintings, allowing myself the opportunity to create a "bridge.” Where there was once a void, we can now build a connection.

A bridge is most thought of as a structure that connects two landmasses, or in terms, two objects. As we have learned from artists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, a painting is indeed an object. In Science, the Einstein-Rosen Bridge, also known as a wormhole, connects different points in space and time. My focus has become the space between two paintings. By filling in the gap, one can complete the connection that exists between two works of art.

I am considering the "bridge" as a metaphor and end product while evaluating various relationships. These bridges are the culminations of variable topics and approaches in modern painting. I am allowing art, symbolism, religion, materials, self-expression, social commentary and non-subjective interpretations to direct the evolution of each painting.

This series is my way of showing how differing individuals, cultures, or eras of time can communicate with another. The bridge is what we build to share space, time, and discourse with another. It’s also what we build to move forward.
