STATEMENT:
A painting can function as a haunted object, a vessel of the past reverberating through the present.
These paintings have their own life. They are the product of intuition over formula. I take anything I’ve accumulated over the years through my mind’s eye and apply it to material use, all the while adhering to a certain level of bewilderment.
I accept and embrace not knowing where the journey will take me, even as I conceptualize motifs, or draw a space with relative clarity. As a result, I find these images reveal more about the outside viewer’s perception than the work itself.
All my paintings are best observed while you are alone.
