Artist's Statement
During walks in the city I stop to photograph piles of boxes left at the curb. The unexpected nature of these discoveries serves as the impetus to begin a new painting. Sometimes I combine images from two photos. Each new work develops in surprising ways and has its own presence by defining space in an abstract way. I am happy when accidental imperfections of shape suddenly let the ground snap into focus.
As in life, small habits or large structures can provide a fluid framework for experimentation and deepening awareness. I think of each pile of debris as the chance evocation of an individual life. By developing a particular incident and maintaining an ambiguous relation to the field, I can keep the painting alive and let it breathe. I want the painting to function as an indicator of change and expansion. Each person is “just passing through.”
