Artists Statement for
Emanation

From an online Oxford Dictionary we find the following definition of ‘emanation’:
    •    An abstract but perceptible thing that issues or originates from a source
    •    The action or process of issuing from a source
    •    A tenuous substance or from of radiation given off by something

Emanation employs several juxtapositions; structured and free forms, complementary colors, foreground and background, symmetry and asymmetry, light and blackness. Like the principle of yin-yang, the whole emanates from resolving these juxtapositions in the mind of the viewer. They exist for the viewer’s purposes.
