These new works continue to explore issues of time and the ways in which past events inform present experiences. I find the medium of painting to be uniquely adept at collapsing and suspending time—constructing a single, timeless moment from events that have transpired over days, months, or years. In my work, the visible history of each painting’s making provides the primary subject of its narrative.

The paintings are comprised of many layers of paint applied in overlapping sections—covering parts of the existing layers, while leaving other areas exposed. The paint is applied with varying degrees of transparency such that even the regions that are painted over still show through in places. In many cases, selected areas are sanded to bring forth underlying colors and textures.
