I make these paintings on gessoed paper because they allow me to explore certain themes in my work. I like to create a square within a rectangle, or a rectangle within a square, on the surface of the paper. I find the tension between these spaces and shapes an interesting dynamic to work with, especially when the painting "crosses over the line". Painting on paper enables me to play with these shapes. For this work, I was thinking about bringing the concept of "portraiture" to its absolute essence. These paintings are built up slowly with multiple layers of oil paint until form and shape give way to the idea. I enjoy visiting smaller art museum and looking at their historical works. Typically their collections consist of lesser known works by lesser known artists. I find these works to be so interesting and dynamic. This piece is inspired by all the "lesser known" masterpieces. While these can be hung, I love to hang them floating slightly away from the wall. By placing a nail in each corner and then using small magnets to hold the work in place, it creates a simple, minimal presence.

Inspired by nature, history and the spaces humans create for themselves, my paintings and constructions conflate place and structure with memory and perception. I draw upon the experiences of place, seeking to distill the natural world and our perception of things down to their very essence. Though the work is abstract and minimal, it is anchored in the real. The slight angle of a tree trunk, a series of telephone lines or a particular pattern of current flow within a body of water become communicators of emotion, feeling and experiential place. My work is concerned with activating this space both in the painting and in the viewer.
