About the Item

My work delicately renders everyday domestic objects we use to create a sense of security- their utilitarian and decorative functions act to create a sanctuary. The formal presentations of my subjects may lead to conflicting feelings of comfort and insecurity, shelter and confinement, and love and loss. It may lead to questions about whether these material comforts keep us safe or more vulnerable. My painting process of intimate examination of my subjects in strong light sources also echoes attachments to material things despite the imminent passage of time. My recent works juxtapose solitary heirloom domestic objects with the untamed New Hampshire landscape. The contradiction of manmade forms created for comfort against something wild, primitive, and unmanageable reminds us of greater forces at work than our palliative attempts at control. Ultimately, we are all vulnerable to worldly forces existing outside our nests
