"Jade"
24" x 32" Acrylic on Paper, 1996
Jade was one of those pieces that just materialized out of thin air. When I was in art school I was at my best friend's house painting with him, and I just started with the ribbon shapes and everything else just happened perfectly after that! I always liked the extreme balance of this painting and the mysterious quality. The idea behind her is to personify a gem stone, in this case Jade or Jadeite. As if she is actually made of the material itself, but is also somehow alive and breathing...
