About Studio Painting:"These paintings are the narrative
fragments of expeditions, cargoed perhaps by personal
experiences, where one can move toward all possible
conclusions, like coordinates in space and time, finding
meanings that cannot be explained until more stories are
told first. Setting out from any moment or place, one
encounters the same density of material to be told."
"Taken collectively, they are the painted counterparts
of the unseen world, their subject is that which doesn’t
exist and cannot exist except when painted, but whose
absence is obscurely felt by that which exists in its own
incompleteness. This reflected diorama of temporal
existence presents history (both personal and anthropological)
as a fable, a dream to be recast and relived over and over
again in search of love and the self."
About Landscape Painting: “The stuff of these paintings— telephone poles, tin roofs, a back lot-- reflects the travels of my everyday life, rather than places chosen for picturesque qualities. They hint at the quiet lives lived beyond the consciousness of being watched or recorded. In this sense,
the paintings are a record of what is left behind when the action has exited; the dynamism of nature acting upon these simple, casual episodes is what I aim to capture.”
