Immer Wellsprung
2001
Acrylic on music paper
11 x 17" / 28 x 43cm
Collection, Sheldon Museum of Art.

"This painting demonstrates the artist's abiding interest in sensory experience: the activated surface references touch and motion; the complementary colors blue and orange vibrate optically, the matrix of musical staves alludes to sound. A record of a complex set of movements, the work holds in tension the themes of ephemerality and infinity. The title confirms these connotations: together, the German word immer ('forever' or 'always') and wellsprung (a neologistic variant of 'spring' or 'source') imply an endless - but constantly changing - supply of energy that expands in perpetuity." - Jonathan Frederick Walz, Curator of American Art, Sheldon Museum of Art
