There are things I don’t know how to say with words.
My interaction with the canvas centers around the problem of articulation: how so much that our bodies synthesize feels out of reach with limited, verbal language.
The paintings I make stumble earnestly towards a pronounced connectedness -- a common warmth to draw towards. Drawing and moving color around I sit patiently on the floor, metaphorically holding hands with the Present Tense -- allowing the tensions that arrive to have space and agency and voice.
Like the rudimentary task of drawing fire from the earth, I dig into the non-verbal interior seeking light. I use pencils and pastels, brooms and the handles of broken wooden tools, I finger paint with pigments and mediums until textures and contrasts form a deep harmony, I use ruined paint brushes to create marks I couldn't intentionally make, until a structure of understanding and deep compassion arises on the canvas, and then I stop.
