    The spark that becomes a painting comes from lines of poetry, music, scent, light falling on things and bearing witness to the complexities of human nature.<\/p>\n

    I think that the creative self is fundamentally analogue and needs to dance with the imperfections of the real world in order to create something of substance.<\/p>\n

    There\u2019s a slickness that I\u2019m resisting both in what I choose to paint and the method I use to do so.\u00a0 Encaustic is tricky and the marks that build up on the canvas while the painting is being fought for have a value, like scars and wrinkles on a person.\u00a0 They are the story of becoming, written on the body.<\/p>\n

    There\u2019s an uncontrollable quality to working with encaustic which disrupts my intention for a piece. \u00a0 This provides an opportunity for the active painting mind to push the work to a place that wasn\u2019t consciously available.<\/p>\n

    All of this creates space within the painting.\u00a0 The images are a story that the viewer is invited to co-create.\u00a0 The medium allows for that, with the brushwork creating hard points of clarity and the encaustic work creating liminal spaces that are finished in the mind of the viewer.\u00a0 They are figurative paintings, grounded in reality, but function like Rorschach tests.\u00a0 The resolved painting contains contradictory elements within its singularity, as we do. In that way, the painting becomes a presence and an invitation to linger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
