This work has bubbled up on the last year largely in response to an online residency, based in Serbia, I did in 2023; together with a group of artists from around the world.  It came out of looking back at my work over the years, especially my earliest "Salsa" paintings.  Those began as explorations of spatial experience but they accidentally recorded musical experience (it was playing in the background, who knew).   This new work is intentionally musical;  exploring rhythm, repetition, motion within compositional structure, seeking to visually embody the visceral experience of music within a painterly vocabulary.
