Description:
From "The Birth of Venus," a series of twenty paintings from 1987 considering the realm of pure abstraction: that divine dimension of infinite potential prior to creation. Venus, the goddess of beauty and art, was born from the undifferentiated ocean through divine conception. These paintings, pregnant with the potential of infinite manifestation, are metaphoric of the abstract, dimensionless realm of First Principles. They evoke the initial stirrings of the creative process, as pure thought conceives the distinctions and organizing principles underlying the universe of forms.
