A NOTE FROM RED WOLF
I work on large sandwiched aluminum panels-- carving into the surface of the aluminum I create a highly reflective surface to paint on. For many years now, I have been experimenting with materials. I utilize several combinations of thin films, particles, and coatings to create structural colors at various wavelengths. I have developed ways to collage these films and materials into my paintings.

I have enough artistic control of this technology that I can paint abstractly or figuratively as I wish and use structural color as an integral part of generating the colors of the image. Structural color is a phenomena found in numerous organic structures in nature from opal and humming bird feathers to soap bubbles.

Much of my artwork currently is focused on manipulation of the aluminum substrate. A recurrent theme though most of my artwork is that it represents an exploration into the creation of color through the manipulation of light.
