Imagine an
entire ocean in a glass of water.
Through
painting-installations, I create a world of abstract objects based on
narratives of water and our relationship to it. These stories are about
striving toward an unreachable goal and the beautiful brokenness that becomes
the purpose of the journey: encountering the loneliness inherent in the feeling
of awe; the wonder inherent in the banal; and the presence inherent in a void.
In the
space between the visceral painted surface and the constructed image, in the
potentiality of a blank sheet of paper, in the dialogue between romantic and
conceptual practices, in the “Between” that separates memory and experience…
this is the glass where I imagine- and reimagine- my ocean.
