about the show:
Internal observations. Initial interpretations. Looking to memories, emotions, and imaginings as inspiration, the paintings are introspections. Arising and emerging simply and unpredictably – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly – with clumsiness and grace, tentatively and with force. Observing the inner relationships – the interrelationships of shape, form, color, structure, gesture, and the resulting perceptions of space. Beginning with a question: What would that look like? What if?
A presence, an evocation, an inspiration. Will you stand and look? Introspect? Paintings ask us to be present and observe. Present with them and with ourselves, if only for a moment, in the way that we are present with our partners, a mountain vista, or our own thoughts and our own breath. They are the beginnings of creating and exploring some of the limitless possibilities of inspiration. They are introversions.
