A Place in Paradise
Paradise is a garden where early conflict dissolves, but in the human experience random disaster is always present. In this series, creatures of varying species inhabit the space of a potential action. Something is about to happen but hasn’t, yet.
Whispers & Hisses
This work visualizes the human being as balanced between feral and fabricated worlds. Vivid, oversized creatures embody instinctual energy.
Wax seals, gold spheres and text-like marks signify rational structures. One speaks in a whisper, the other in a hiss.
The Remains
This is the moment after the party, when decorations become debris and small insects feed on the remains of the feast. Adornment gives way to destruction, memorialized by indecipherable text.
Gravity
A tiled wall alludes to a cozy Dutch interior, with individual images in the center of each square and arranged in a grid. Across this expanse, blurred figures jump, pull, push, and fall, each drama unraveling in sequential downward movements. This work banishes all notions of harmony and stability.
Picture Perfect
Diptych drawings suggest many forms of the garden, from picnic to bible story. On a transparent overlay, birds and insects disrupt the narrative. Cutout openings obscure the drawing while revealing off-center details.
