Statement
These pieces reflect on the passage of time, and the internal events that
change and shape us. The paintings reveal how, over time, memories are given
broader scope and are incorporated into an ongoing abstract narrative. These
are nature-based and light infused visual meditations. The structure of this
series encourages an interchange, and a narrative emerges. The paintings
explore what happens when significant moments over a long period of time
become incorporated into the fabric of our lives. Color and mark making are
the foundation of this work. Layering, sanding, erasing, and scraping reveal
over time "their own order... the continuous thread of revelation."
