STEVE PERRAULT

“Architecture of order and calm is used in my art as a vehicle for meditation and meaning. There is a function and aesthetic to these precise, geometric, and honest spaces. Space is important for its emptiness. Clean space is dynamic. I create passages of inside-outside space, lightness and darkness, and containment and expansion as meditations on the "interior" world of the individual.  These dynamics are metaphors for the emotional states of life's psychological and spiritual journey."—Steve Perrault
