lost in the words

the artist's studio, via Instagram

Strong few sessions over the last few days, four paintings in play and ready to stretch another two.  I look forward to the holiday weekend with lots of uninterrupted studio time.  New associations come into play- anatomical, disruption, and also constant themes - entropy, collapse.  This is one of my favorite studio spaces to-date and I look forward to all the ways it will grow with the work.  Happy to have finally found my work home in this town.

These new paintings feel at once abstract and at times veering toward representation of some thing; though what is unclear and unintentional.  Also, as though the composition is falling apart but sustained...in stasis.  There is a tense balance, a discordant symmetry that is just enough off to feel organic and even disturbing.  Ever toward the sublime.
