This work dwells in the twilight zone between painting and sculpture. Filled with longing for places that do not actually exist, contradictions flourish with invocations of both the animated and the arrested, the joyful and the staid, the high and the low. Material and processes become sites for fantasy, illusion, and the interplay between flat and not-flat. Installation and set designs tinker with scale to produce environments that the viewer can project themselves into as landscapes, even while confronting their qualities of un-nature. Borne from my previous body of painted paper collages, the installation based works are influenced by techniques common to theatrical painters with materials often used in set design such as latex theatrical paint and muslin. A lineage of shapes and images become a trail of breadcrumbs from one idea to another; previous works including drawings and collages, sometimes many years old are scoured, drawn, painted, cut, and recycled over time, one idea begetting another, endlessly self-generating, encapsulating a romance with materials and processes.
