Capsules

My subject matter is really how we see, what we register, what we select from the vast input of imagery and memories, how these fragments coalesce and collide and form new “things”. I am interested in a transcendent vision of the materiality of the world
I work from a combination of glimpsed images, memories, and color harmonies. I sometimes use previous paintings as a starting point, overpainting and revealing selective passages that in turn suggest a new structure. Images submerge and re emerge, physically in paint and in our dissolving experiences. In my paintings small passages of brilliant colour contrast with expanses of chalky, neutral tones; textured or worn away areas interrupt smooth planes or raw canvas. I see unpredicatability of surface textures and ambiguous spatial situations as corresponding to a way of seeing the world as uncategorizable, nondualistic, unknowable, and full of wonder.
