- Paintings: 1988-94 - > Electra Paintings:1990-92

From l990 to l992, I produced the Electra series, working with Targa, a computer program. It permitted me to generate color within an array of squares on a continuous ground. In this way I arranged 4 colors in patterns of squares and combined them to play against each other as well that of the background. The observer’s shifting eye movements and focus results in a continually changing illusion of random light pulses along the plane of the picture. In this structure I also explored the perception of color and shape variations as a function of distance from the work.
