Each of my works in the Structure Fragments series has been assembled from many fragments. The fragments are painted first. They are small, independent works,  each with its own complexity and logic.  Then I  build a bigger and  more complex space by fitting, combining and  overlapping the earlier painted fragments. In this process of arranging and rearranging, higher order structures emerge, structures which are unpredictable but not random, which reflect  visual associations of the mind. The interactions among the fragments create  hierarchies of complexity. Any fragment can become the focus; there is no fixed center, but the eye discovers harmony in disorder.

The names of paintings in this series have been derived from dice throws used for randomization of arrangements of fragments.
