Description
My observation-based paintings explore phenomenological relationships between light, time, and shifting perception, and how reality can be represented as it is reconsidered over time. The paintings are a record of ongoing transitions, rather than a seamless illusion of a single moment. Probing the ineffable within the mundane, my work locates a material poetry of common things. I look for opportunities to get lost in observable phenomena, render the familiar unfamiliar, and seek subject matter that I see as transformative. I’m interested in how, over time, the complexity of the subject intensifies and is redefined. When the paintings have a complicated, buzzing visual intensity and verge on hallucinatory, I step away. Simultaneity, coalescence, or crystallization of an emotional light are the result of the unmapped course each painting takes.
