process

Working wiih color, composition and texture - exploring and rearranging until something emerges that looks right - that “feels” right, is a slightly mysterious process. Preconception may be a  starting point, but once begun, the process is really more a conversation than a declaration. It’s a back and forth interaction that requires surrender - a lot of it..

It is the surrender, the willingness to let go of the preconceived and allow the work itself to lead, that allows something unique, and often unexpected, to emerge.

For me, this is the challenge. It is a humbling practice that keeps me returning again and again, each time in hope of discovering an underlying order, of seeing something in a way I haven’t seen before, of finding new meaning and new connections - of uncovering and discovering beauty.

When this happens, often from what initially appears to be chaos, something within all of us recognizes and responds to it, without stopping to think. We feel something by simply looking at something. This is instinctive and universal - and it connects us and draws us closer. It has the power to reclaim in us a sense of awe, and this can connect us to something beyond ourselves and to something that dwells deep within ourselves, simultaneously.

What better goal?
