The source of inquiry is nature’s unending process of birth, death and rebirth. These paintings specifically portray moments of emergence and regeneration. Fluid atmospheres surround abstract shapes of plants and cells, much like the primordial waters that cultivate fertile ground for new life. The images depict constant states of flux with biomorphic clusters that burst forth, while others remain dormant or hidden.
Through the painting process, I explore my transient experiences and my desire to capture pleasurable moments and hold onto what is beautiful. Spring-like growth is a metaphor for renewal and idealized possibilities. Sensuality celebrates opening to the present moment and embraces our sentient and visceral essence. By mimicking nature’s cycles through the layering of paint, the paintings become a meditation on desire.
