WHAT IS YOUR WORK ABOUT?

My subjects vary. Some portraits show eyes, lips, and skin surfacing through weathered layers. Others capture people I’ve met in city streets, their faces rendered mostly in black and white. Still other collections move away from people entirely, using streaks of color, texture and light to suggest something closer to feeling and memory than to fact.

What connects my work is my preoccupation with time, presence, and how memory transforms what we see and feel. Faces merge with stone. Light turns a landscape into a state of mind. Even color and texture become fields of memory.

I’m drawn to that edge between what’s seen and what’s felt. That point where form starts to dissolve and emotion takes over.

Taken together, the work is variations on one theme; different movements in the same piece of music, circling around memory, presence, and change.

I’m not interested in documenting what something looks like. I want to show what it feels like.
