About the Item
Artist Statement
For me, an artistic process is an act of investigation – a passionate attempt to establish an understanding of the natural world – a version that incorporates both intellectual and emotional comprehension which are sometimes incompatible and distill them into a visual language of images where they can be contemplated.
Making images of these things is a natural extension of being fascinated, touch, or intrigued by them. This process of seeing, and recording transforms me. It is how I express wonder and love, a form of dedication. It is also a record of my life and my desire to connect myself to all other things, the acknowledgment of a search for an explanation, meaning, and significance, and a primal longing to grasp unknowable things.
I begin with a silver photographic image, evidence, then I paint on this in many transparent layers of oil paint and pencil. If I am lucky the media combine, and become enmeshed, a curious union of what was real with my own painterly exaggerations and embellishments, so I can show how beautiful it all is — the light, the form, the texture, and color, because I am a sensualist and this is my most profound pleasure, my lovely addiction.
