This piece honours the graveyard near my home. It's a place of constant change. The plants and trees are always doing something new, the people who come to visit their loved ones are coming and going, and there are new little tokens of love on the graves all the time. Before I lived here I perceived a graveyard as a static type of place -- where death marks finality, where the only life is in names and dates chiseled into cold stones. I painted this thinking about the ways we characterize endings with a strong sense of finality. Now I have decided to look for what is growing and changing within the events in my life that seem permanent. ⁣

About The Artwork

This piece honours the graveyard near my home. It's a place of constant change. The plants and trees are always doing something new, the people who come to visit their loved ones are coming and going, and there are new little tokens of love on the graves all the time. Before I lived here I perceived a graveyard as a static type of place -- where death marks finality, where the only life is in names and dates chiseled into cold stones. I painted this thinking about the ways we characterize endings with a strong sense of finality. Now I have decided to look for what is growing and changing within the events in my life that seem permanent. ⁣

My art practice is a visual journal in progress. Each work refers to my lived experience; exploring what it means to be conscious in a material body. It’s not about making a fixed statement. As I paint in an intuitive way, I do so with an attitude of curiosity and receptivity toward what is stirring below the surface of sensory perception. Creative impulses inside me grow wildly - branching out in all directions. My art practice is rooted in the habit of cultivating ideas, and my attempt to make sense of them. The painting process becomes a tangible manifestation of this interior process, of adding and subtracting, one step forward, two back. Every painting is a conversation, idea, argument, or lament in progress. Nothing is fixed, everything is turning and folding in on itself, bobbing above and below the surface of consciousness, sometimes sinking, sometimes rising above.
