When I talk about my painting, and when I make a particular emphasis on the continuity of entoptic forms that underlie it, people sometimes ask me for evidence of this continuity. Even when they grant me the link between cave art and abstract art that has surfaced a century ago, they are at a loss with the intervening period. At this point I remind them of the so-called primitive art across the globe, as well as the decorative art in our own culture. The rub is that decorative art is not recognized as “real” art any longer. In fact, since about a century ago all ornament has been devalued to the point of ridicule. My argument thus falls on deaf ears or blind eyes. Therefore, the task is to bring decorative patterns back to the world of art, and thus make them “visible” once again. Indeed, this is precisely what many of my paintings strive to accomplish.
