AN ARTIST STATEMENT
i begin to look anew.
i paint a vision of what i think might be the sun.
reality fails me: i do not know if i capture this in my dream-state,
because when i look at the sun i am blinded by white light shining
and when i breathe the sun i am full of such brilliance that i cannot imagine anything physical.
i am barren, all is meaningless.
when i know that i cannot in any human way reproduce this, i no longer try.
i try only to look for the sun in another way. and make another painting holding the grace i have seen.
i am losing all sense of rules and further rules of color and of composition and maybe even of meaning... i get lost making them.
The work is heavily layered and glazed, with words and colors scratched into the paint creating both physical depth and deep radiance. I aspire to have the resulting glow translate each painting into the dreamtime that allows for transcendence conceptually and spiritually.
