Sculptural Paintings
Sculptural Paintings
These sculptural paintings extend color and texture beyond the traditional rectangle and into physical form. Each composition is envisioned as individual wooden panels wrapped in canvas and painted with fluid acrylic and sand. Repeating patterns establish a rhythm, while fluid materials bring variation to each painting. The open spaces between the forms gather light and shadow, drawing the surrounding architecture into the composition.
Untitled
Concept envisioned as 30 individual paintings arranged in an alternating pattern; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 10 × 10 inches each.
Blue Waves
Concept envisioned as 144 individual paintings arranged in a flowing pattern of quarter circles; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 10 × 10 inches each.
Green Garden
Concept envisioned as 144 individual paintings arranged in a grid of rotating quarter circles; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 8.3 × 8.3 inches each.
Curved Loops Red
Concept envisioned as 40 individual paintings arranged into interlocking loops; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 8.2 × 8.2 inches each.
Curved Loops Blue and Yellow
Concept envisioned as 100 individual paintings arranged into a horizontal field of interlocking loops; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 8.2 × 8.2 inches each.
Green Paths
Concept envisioned as 100 individual paintings arranged in a grid of rotating quarter circles; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 10 × 10 inches each.
Red Petals
Concept envisioned as 64 individual paintings arranged into clusters of four petals; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 13 × 13 inches each.
Horizontal Loops
Concept envisioned as 218 individual paintings arranged into a horizontal field of interlocking loops; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 10.6 × 10.6 inches each.
Orange and Pink Petals
Concept envisioned as 36 individual paintings arranged into radiating petal clusters; sand and acrylic on canvas, approximately 17.6 × 17.6 inches each.
The forms are crafted from wood locally in Charleston, then wrapped in canvas using the same preparatory process as my traditional paintings. Layers of fluid acrylic and sand build color and texture across the surface, allowing each panel to develop its own variations within the larger arrangement.
The works are designed for temporary or permanent wall installation. Temporary displays use small double-pointed steel fasteners, which leave minimal pinholes when removed. Permanent installations use concealed Fastmount® clips.
