Boxed:Shift, Winter Sycamore Painting

Boxed:Shift developed over the past two tumultuous years. These works reference the change in my physical environment to a world of planes and rectangles, bay light and big sky. Stacked boxes juxtapose color and light, reflecting weather and seasonal change, and a feeling of being inside looking out.
 Another shift: process and palette. Juxtaposing geometrics is mind bending. Painting clean-edged lines freehand is deeply challenging, and I love the imperfection of edges where they meet. And the shift in palette reflects a change in light and color in my surroundings. All in all a bit of a pivot, with traces of the painterly lushness that's always driven my work.
