To make these paintings I start with a sheet of glass, water and Sumi ink. Neither of these elements contains or holds any visible form. The first two are transparent and the third is totally opaque. But when the water and ink are mixed together in different densities and pushed around the surface of the glass with different tools, a whole universe of form comes into being.

The verb to be can only be properly used in reference to life as a whole. Only life IS. Everything else is merely an abstraction concocted by a mind permanently trapped in the collective fantasy of its separate existence. Life is formless and not essentially determined by the past. You are invited to see the human form in the image above (what you think you are) and to then go beyond it to the emptiness and timelessness from which it came.
