Liminal Arc

This collection of paintings contemplates space, time, separation and togetherness, boundaries, transition, and memory, giving shape to liminality as physical, emotional, and metaphorical. These paintings were made over the past four years and span a time when, in a personal field and in the global field, liminal space slid into the forefront of awareness with the pandemic. Even as we transition into some semblance of normalcy, I believe, big picture, we continue in liminality—in transition—somewhere between what was and what will be. The works hold questions arising from this liminal space—the questions of youth today—what will be? Some paintings present a physical threshold or a moment between one state of being and another. Places whose nature is one of transition and holding are explored, as are relationships between interior and exterior. As I consider my development as a painter, I recognize I am in process. The questions that have unfolded for me through the making of these paintings continue to tweak the trajectory of where I am interested in going. I hope that when I get there, I will discover another place calling me to stretch toward. In this way, I see the arc of my evolution as a painter as (in part) comprised of the liminal.
