CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW our perception, I am again interested in bringing these ideas up as a conversation. If I want to have a conversation, it is obviously necessary for me to use visual language in a way that invites people to participate with my work rather than just looking at it. I am intrigued with the concept of inviting people to insert themselves into the work. So, I do take steps to try and allow that. Obscura would be the most obvious, since I consider the white space to be an invitation for people to fill in what they can’ t see. Similarly, Landscapes for Richter really only suggests a landscape, it’ s up to the audience to see if they agree or if they see something different. I want to present certain concepts with my work, but I never want to hit people over the head or detract from an image’ s visual appeal. So, again, yes, taking the role of the audience into account is something that I consider crucial to my process.
Richter. I started that project as a bit of an experimental release, so it’ s something that I can always go back to and evolve upon. However, the thing that has come to the forefront of my mind recently is to do more work with installation and public works. Since my focus is on spatial understanding, it feels only natural to translate my concepts into literal space. I can’ t say that I have anything specific that I could present just yet, but I would like to do more of the string installations. I am also intrigued to play with the idea of erasure much like I have with Obscura. That is to say, I enjoy the thought of effacing certain portions of a space to bring attention to others. How I do that remains to be seen, but that is the direction I’ m moving in.

Thank you for inviting me to participate.
In the short term, I certainly plan to keep working on Landscapes for
