Artist’s Statement

Words as image are a central part of my imagery in paintings, book arts, and prints, leading to my current obsession with letterforms and wall writing. I am inspired by Asian calligraphy, modern graphitti, and ancient walls with multilayered imagery. I use many layers of marks and handwriting to create the feeling of historical surfaces one might find on an ancient wall layered over a period of centuries. The transparency of layers is important, and is central to the intuitive method I use in developing my paintings and books. My work evolves in series, whether pages of a book or a group of paintings, investigating visual aspects of a symbol or idea. The paintings and the books cross-fertilize each other, and sometimes I am uncertain whether the handwriting pages may become a book or a painting. http://www.juvelisbooks.com/shop/juvelis/index.html
