These paintings are rooted in the physicality of urban landscape and the luminous buzz of evening light. As abstract paintings, they also evoke something even more local – an intimate sense of lived experience within one’s body, including pre-verbal observations not yet coalesced into fixed images, alive and reconfiguring at the level of our synapses. Densely layered and decisively edited, setting up a spatial structure that takes on a slightly disjunctive shift, as implied connections and ghost images assert an alternate read. The paintings become charged and resonant visual situations for looking at, and into, places for durational seeing and thought.
