The increasing negative space on the canvas resulted in work that evoked interesting, rich patterns of color, flow and movement. The now extensive “…InBetween” series began to take its place among the body of work, with “Nearing The InBetween” being created in the early part of the year, and “In The InBetween” later in the year. This is an ongoing series of paintings exploring our own significance on Earth, what comes after our mortal lives, and what worlds or existence we are ‘between’. Slightly figurative and ‘portrait’ composition entered into his process along with commentary on the ongoing struggles of our planet.
