ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Sheet Music" stems from my memory of first learning to write—imagining the way that letters imperfectly tilt and topple between notebook lines. What developed from this recollection was an expansive image that speaks to human liberation and expression in a world of rules and guides. What restrictions are placed upon one's daily actions? What filters are used to safeguard emotions? In reading literal sheet music, there is no way to predict or protect from what is coming—each note calls for presence and acknowledgement as it cascades up, down, or across its line. The bars that run through sheet music do not inhibit melodies, but enhance them. So, too, does this painting to evoke a sense of structure that may enhance my marks, rather than quiet or capture them.
