About Vin
Howard County
I began painting 40 years ago, and I switched primarily to working in video about 30 years ago. While I often return to painting, I remain fascinated with the power and flexibility of the video medium. As it advances technologically, video continues to provide me with the means to "paint in time". The impact and quality of the still image is still very important to me, however, and I choose to display many still frames from my videos here in these project arrays.

To create this image I took a dowel and cut it into an even number of pieces. I painted each piece with black and white paint. Every segment has an inverse segment painted as its opposite. If all of the segments were arranged back in a straight line it would be continuous, with no gaps. This piece is about completion and dispersion.
Sculptoral paintings, painterly sculptures
As a resident artist in Hungary I produced many wall hanging porcelain forms. Once back in Baltimore I began to find places for them by painting wooded panels and adhering them permanently to the surface. These works are very lighthearted, as I see them as fun sketches, a way for me to explore color and pattern that will later be applied to a larger surface, as part of an installation.
