After an exploration of geometric morphological forms — the square, the rectangle, the circle, arrays of stripes, lines, and dots — a three-dimensional synthesis in the form of cityscapes was developed. Now, it is time to bring these elements together in a more abstract manner that is nonetheless based on reality. The Resonance Series stem from the 'aha!' appreciation of the relational geometric pattern of actual particular clusters and field of cityscape/landscape as photographed aerially or by satellite.  Harmony, contrast, stationary or projected dynamic spotted in survey searches is instantly recognized as the core of the present art and its philosophical scientific perspective. Solids, intense colors, and geometry, the Bibel hallmark, persist, accentuating the line and shade of the pattern. Subsequently, a subseries of circle-constructed paintings become landscapes.
