I am exhausting a spark, taking an idea and exploring it fully. In resolving a painting, I am letting it finally rest. One image is a commitment, but a painting is devotion to the passage of time. I am wearing my dissonance thin. I am building an x-rayed, crystal clear, thick patina of explored potential. Painting without representation, I am filling in the gaps left by my own vulnerability. Both visually and physically, my work shows an archive of decisions, compromises, gambles, and methods to work beyond an initial concept. The work is permissive, a radical means to imagine possibility.
