Paintings

This set of work, oil paintings of paper airplanes and cardboard boxes, play with the positive and negative space – the background is equal to the foreground or subject, and so the eye dances around the image.

These paintings have evolved from my earlier still-life work with every-day objects; an effort to elevate the mundane.

I have been toying with images of paper airplanes for years. Only now do I see them as a metaphor for the iconic airplane image of sending a message digitally.
