As I paint the stripe paintings, I’m learning a great deal about the interaction of color: that ‘a blue’ or ‘a yellow’ or ‘a pink’ in different intensities and places next to other colors will play all sorts of different roles in an art work. This body of paintings draws on the learning from the post-Impressionists, in particularly the pointalist, Georges Seurat (1859 – 1891), British painter Bridget Riley (b.1931), and the science of how we perceive and experience color. I’m learning that that ‘a light’ can be built from color. By using repeated lines and color I can create optical experiences that seem to move and shift as the viewer's perspective changes.
