He enjoys letting his imagination roam on objects reproduced and enhanced through technological tools such as microscopes, telescopes, X-rays and ultrasounds. His imagery is rooted in an organic world, but he is more an illustrator who reinterprets and transforms the shapes of nature through his fresh use of strokes, colors and placement of forms. Often his titles are intentionally ambiguous to the viewer, but that missing bit of information creates intriguing titles and differing interpretations. All of the images in that suite involve spherical or circular shapes which defy categorization in terms of scale or subject. It is difficult to tell at first glance whether Winters is depicting a cluster of berries, a microscopic view of cellular forms or an impossibly scaled look at the relationship of the planets or the constellations.
Some forms bring to mind some kind of fantastic aquatic plant or jellyfish.
As is customary in Winters' work, the palette is muted, but among the subtle variations of black, grey and brown are washes of brighter and more brilliant colors. While Winters often concentrates on a central image, he repeats that image in sketches and loose smudgy references all over the page. Even fingerprints and spit can make printable marks. Winters is interested in these limitless possibilities. It is clear that through printmaking, Winters is exploring techniques and media peculiar to the graphic arts which can inform his other work as he moves back and forth between painting, drawing and printmaking.
