Artist Statement
This work exists at the edge of recognition.
The image suggests a face, but refuses to resolve into one. I’m interested in that moment where intimacy forms before certainty—when we feel close to something without fully knowing it.
Color does the emotional labor here. Violet holds the space, while cyan surfaces and recedes, like breath against glass. The softness is not concealment, but permission.
This piece is not about who is seen, but about the sensation of being near.

Jackson Pollock biography/Erik Maldre autobiography
There is a huge myth surrounding Jackson Pollock due to the sweeping elemental forces merging with rugged gallantry surrounding his work and public image. Yet, we actually know very little about his life outside of the ferociously poetic painting, excess boozing and shattered womanizing. He's such a captivating figure that I aspire for unknown information about him. I want to know what other things he has done in his life. I want to know how he felt about broad issues and also about common, everyday items. I want to know if he collected nickels. I want to know if he ever stole some khakis. I want to know if he ever visited London.
As I formulate these questions, they most often relate back to my personal experiences. So, in essence, I am fusing my study of Jackson Pollock with an expression of my life. Some questions are inquisitive such as "did he like donuts". Some are relatable such as "did he lose his keys". And some become boastful. For example "did he fix cameras" incites that I did something that he couldn't do. It's these questions that I must infuse into visual form.
How to communicate these thoughts? Well, the best starting point is to examine what made Pollock famous in the first place. That's his Abstract Expressionist "drip" paintings. I have decided to use that as the foundation of this series. Certainly this is a mute exercise on many levels. It's almost impossible to enter the same level of subconscious freedom that Pollock experience simply because of the 50 years of history that follow his work. To simply replicate his work is only a plagiarized exercise in unoriginality.
Alas, I'm not attempting to paint Abstract Expressionist paintings. This is an autobiography of myself and a biography of Pollock. The Abstract Expressionist technique is simply a means for the viewer to connect my questions on Pollock's life with Pollock himself. His drip style is unmistakable. So it's to my advantage that it is terribly cliche to replicate Pollock's paintings. I need that recognizability factor for people to associate my questions with Pollock.
Large 2' by 4' paintings were made in the same manner Pollock was famous for by placing the work surface and the ground and applying the paint in a ritualisitic manner around the developing shrine. The next step was to dissect these large paintings into 5x7 and 8x10 pieces. When studying a large topic, one must attack it piece by piece; so this series follows a similar approach. Each sliced painting becomes a facet in the study of Pollock allowing me to investigate many areas of his life. Each painting becomes a journal entry. That's why the questions are painted directly on top of the painting. The focal point becomes the study of the life of Jackson Pollock and a study in the life of myself.
Yet, when it's all said and done, all these paintings are just questions. I propose no direct answers in the paintings (or do I? I purposely put no question marks in the paintings). The only answers attained are the ones that the viewer brings to the work. That sounds a lot like what Pollock's paintings do on a postmodernist level.

Ich mag die Farben (ist halt blau). Es hat aber mit der Finanzkrise und den Banken zu tun. Die meisten Finanzleute und Banker machen einen guten Job (99% oder mehr). Einige wenige haben aber das Konzept des Geldes nicht verstanden und machen mit ihre Gier Probleme.

I like the colors (because it's blue). But it's not about colors, it's about the financial crisis Europe suffers. Most of the financial people and bankers do a great job (99% or even more). But a few did not understand the concept of money and cause a lot of problems with their greed.

One of my most awesome pieces ever: my Diversity Necklace!
While creating this AMAZING piece of wearable true art, I closed my eyes and let my inner intuition artistic spirit guide me. The result was this fully functioning expression of artistry, wearable AND also stands up by itself, thus serving as a thought-provoking necklace/art piece, and a movable mixed media sculpture.
Shooting the Square Mile (15/24)
At a personal level I like the simplicity of this almost abstract statement. I read into it a step change in the way architects work. The older building, the one on the right, comes from the age of the orthogonal age of the manual drawing board; the Gherkin on the left is from the curvaceous age of computer aided design. The older building deserves a name check, it is now known as St, Helen's Skyscraper (formerly known as the Commercial Union Building) designed by Gollins Melville and Ward and completed in 1969. The City is a restless place.
I have named this statement necklace "Twilight Whisper." Her feet along the dewy hills Are lighter than blown thistledown; She bears the glamour of one star upon her violet crown." Author: Clinton Scollard, American Poet (1860--1932).
Twilight is upon us...a solitary star appears in the distant sky as the shades of dusky lavender and purple will soon turn to a whisper of gray. A Vintage repurposed Weiss rhinestone beetle pin shimmers as it stops and lights upon a silvery watch part platform. A rhinestone-encrusted star, repurposed from a vintage earring, twinkles on a setting created from a neo victorian stamping. Vintage enamel and plastic flowers are scattered on the scene in shades of pale lavender to an antique repurposed brooch part made of iridescent purple. A vintage lavender enamel flower seems to spin like a pinwheel in the breeze. Sparkling vintage rhinestones drop in the center of the flowers like drops of evening dew. The beaded chain has vintage Swarovski twisted pearls and other vintage beads which complement the pendant.

A stroll on the beach is often so enjoyable thanks to the people I meet there.
Michal was playing her guitar which attracted us and we asked her to sing, too. She did gladly and we joined in.
Michal, 23 y/o, has recently returned home to Israel from India where she had spent three months. She was looking for peace and quiet in Goa and a place to get away from family pressure.
"I was told repeatedly to start studying, do something with myself, but I just wanted to be left in peace."
India did help her to find quietude although Michal said it was too short a stay. She intends to go back someday.
Michal believes that people should do more things that they love. People shouldn't lie to themselves, they should smile more and love unconditionally.
