The work is done with slowly drying oils, varnishes and resins, as a counteraction to the hyperspeed with which information circulates today. Unruly materials escape control, flow away, mix, they are sensitive to the humidity in the studio, dust and light, the substance of paint and the forces of gravity themselves become co-authors and manifest their material existence. Each painting is a “non-linear landscape”, a place where cause and effect are confused. The collapse of linear narrative is not a fall into meaninglessness, but rather a transition to networked meaning. I think of my paintings as compost heaps where diverse matter is destroyed and recombined, where rot and decay are not a finished product, but soil in the process of becoming.
