Ink, with its unparalleled fluidity, staining intensity, and transparency, has become an essential feature of my practice. This transparency allows layers to switch back and forth in time, creating several possible readings. The sponge-like nature of the thin paper allows paint on one side of the paper to to appear on the other side to the benefit of the imagery on both sides. Through gesture and organically arising stain forms, the painting becomes an alternate world of suggestive forms and spaces that mirror patterns from nature—atmospheric, kinesthetic, tactile, and tectonic.
