My paintings are fundamentally an act of sense making. I have been circling experiences of presence in nature – including questions of what IS nature – within the formal language of painting for 40 years. These days patterns, primarily plant, serve as both a reference to life and the basis for improvisational responses that in themselves reveal how life works; ecosystems of relationships that unfold through mutual transformations (Andreas Weber, The Biology of Wonder). In the case of painting, idea, surface, mark, color, form, and perception, generate felt structures.
I am interested in exploring frameworks, conceptually and through the painting practice, that situate us within life. Perceiving our shared subjectivity with living organisms, opens us to sensing possibilities for innovative co-existence with a living Earth. The painting practice is a small act of visually navigating this perceptual territory.
