MessageCollection: Exploring Space
Like most people, during the long months during the pandemic lockdowns, I used the extra time to sort through stuff at home and at the studio. As a result, I became interested in the organization of space both in my life and in my art. These observations manifested in this series of paintings.
My usual preference is to work entirely from an organic perspective. However, I do enjoy using an underlying grid sometimes as a compositional framework. It was exciting, with this series, to explore what I could do with it.
Just as in all my work, I use multiple layers of collage and paint to create visual complexity. When looking at these paintings, it’s like digging for buried treasure. They represent an organic excavation of what lies hidden under the surface.
