Statement

My recent work features forms that have come away from the edge of the canvas to float on their own. They are objects both known and unknown to me, having occurred spontaneously. Quite personal, and freed from some former constriction, these gestures express themselves as flying entities, weightless and yet held in place by their respective atmospheres. Painted wet-on-wet, my work has always been about gesture, and these figures perhaps more literally allude to the body, and the need to take a stand, as it were, in the swirling space around us.
