Artist's Statement


Once, while being interviewed for an art blog, I was asked whether my interest in intense subtlety and repetition was a way of being in dialogue with the natural world. This was an illuminating question. I am curious about why the nuanced repetition of form in nature is so visually moving, as when a tree leafs out, cells divide, or an urban hillside has been encrusted with pale houses. My work is abstract, yet this curiosity informs my process.
When I started this painting, I was thinking about interconnectedness in a general abstract way. It was before Covid. I was not thinking about droplets, aerosols, or miasmic air. I wasn’t thinking about particles of wildfire smoke traveling thousands of miles to be inhaled on the East coast. Today this painting looks a bit different to me. We share the same air, the same climate, the same pandemic, all inextricably linked.
