I use layer upon layer of latex house paint, detailed with gouache to relay some of my experiences with how thin the veil is between this dimension and many others. Giving an abstract nod to an attraction to topographical maps of Ohio farmland, processing visions + grief of loved ones, long gone house pets and the persistent cyclical progression of nature are all themes that bloom much after a painting is complete. These pieces help me understand this work of life that we are moving through, somehow allowing us to remain present and yet informing the seemingly enlightened future we happen to create for ourselves every day.
