Coming Soon
Paintings with titles like Dropped, Subtext (which takes justifying a warped canvas perhaps too far) and The Marked Series.
Reef - 10"x14", Acrylic on Panel, 2007
This piece went through a lot of stages to become something that is vaguely uncomfortable to look at. I am deeply satisfied.
As of 12/18: Reef has found a new home.
Shades - 18"x12", Acrylic on Panel, 2007
This is gooey. You really have no idea how gooey this is. The photo barely does it justice. My father once described the biblical flood as wet. This is gooey like that. Gooey-looking dried polymer like that, anyway.
Volcano - 30"x30", Acrylic on Fabric, 2007
The experience of creating this piece was a breakthrough. I cried as the layers fell into place. I had dreamt this texture, had known that it was lurking out there, that if I tried enough processes I would find it and finally I have.
Mali - 30"x30", Acrylic on Fabric, 2007
This painting is named after a friend who was obsessed with the color orange when we became acquainted. Her passion for orange rivaled mine for red. She delighted me because I had never met someone who had developed a relationship with color the way I do. Whole worlds are built around the things we love.
The style of this piece does not reflect Mali. She's pointier. The curves are mine, but the color is hers.

Series of Three x 20"x10", Oil on Canvas, 2007
In order from top down these are WANT, TAKE & HAVE. I'm still straddling a fence as whether to attach these to each other, let them hang separately or to even keep them as a triptych.
