Color Abstraction is an ongoing exploration of colorful abstraction inspired by the abstract expressionist movement. In order to achieve the painterly images, I employ a multi-step process which allows me to control and manipulate the image prior to the shutter opening; resulting in a luminous, vibrant and amorphous images. I also explore the innate human need to interpret, categorize, assign meaning and judge the visual information bombarding us every waking moment of our lives. In order to encourage the viewer to draw out emotional expression and define the content of the image based on their own lifetime of experience and implicit bias I remove much of the context to include titling the images. In the 20 years of this series, I kept true to my original statement about this series: "The one thing we know about it, is that it is not what it seems”.
