In spite of our technologies, everything in this world
reserves the right to hide, to disguise the depths of its own privacy.
The variations of visible time generated by a model or a
landscape aren't limited to likeness. Painters talk about how to convey the weight of a pose or the
texture of a hill, all the elements that effect contour & mass. There is
also the force of registered passage to consider, the bodily recording of
experience across a form.
Observing these shifting pressure systems, in the line of an eyelid or the sag of a
branch, the absolutely resolved is replaced by something like a life.

The color pieces are gorgeous--I especially like the seemingly-chaotic nature of "Garden in June"--but I'm also quite smitten with those b/w pieces. They feel restful interspersed with the color work, like a park bench where one can sit and take in the surrounding activities at one's leisure. These would all make a wonderful show together!
