Objects that inhabit a past; subjects of childhood, personal, or domestic history. Wound within these themes exist questions of identity, ethnicity and ancestry. I attempt to echo their wistfulness, the nostalgic quality that they hold so dear. Painting them becomes a celebration of their existence, a commemoration of remembrance.
I am captivated by the earth’s linear quality, the moment of place where sky touches earth and what happens in those remaining spaces that eventually arrive at our feet. I chisel away at the natural world, patching together bits and pieces, composing and rebuilding the landscape pattern by pattern, color by color, dot by dot.
