Painting
It is hard to find words for the experience of painting, which, though I love words, speaks eloquently to me entirely without them.
I don't normally begin from or force any narrative or concept onto my work; it proceeds largely as an improvisational exploration of color and the formal aspects of composition. Yet, whether or not images or stories reveal themselves, explicitly or implicitly, the work is always, in one way or another, about my experience of consciousness, of thinking, sensing, being, questioning, recollecting, forgetting.
The fragment is not separated from the whole, but is a constituent part, alive and changing; and the field that contains it also is alive. The idea of the field moves me enormously, as all things, at all scales, are both containers and contained.
