i live in san francisco and here, the fog has a name, Karl the fog. i've been fascinated by the concept of fog since i was a child. viewing from a distance, it both hides and reveals. when one is wrapped with it, our senses are changed. sounds have a deadened echo to it and smell is heightened, our sights r hindered and there is a high moisture on our skin. in this collaged painting, i'm using materials found in our everyday life that otherwise would've been discarded. i make a beautiful colorful pattern and then cover it with layers of beeswax. the play is both natural and synthetic. once the first layer of "artwork" is covered, i use wood carving knives to etch out the wax to reveal the whats hidden behind the fog. the lines are often inspired by the strata of rock formations or the lines on the tree trunks or it may be the arieal view of the earth. in this series of 10 paintings, each has it's own story to tell. this particular painting, the hidden image is created by crayons from kids who has outgrown them. one may never be able to see the whole of what is hidden, but can only guess through what is cut away, a mystery to be pondered over.

I transcribe and reveal the beauty of nature through intuitive calligraphy. Materials curated from refuse drive the approach of each project. In “Seams of the Fog”, the collage under painting is composed of seeds, junk mail, plastic, foil, and cosmetics. I bury it under layers of wax and pigment. What is hidden becomes less important than what is revealed, like fog. There is a tension between the hazy uncertainty of the surface and the intentional, well-defined seams. Besides stitching and embroidery of plastic yarns into my acrylic paintings, I also weave plast “yarns” as my canvas/ painting. It’s another experience Beneath this joy and wonder of beauty is a layer of darker anxiety I have for the environment.
