desire / I want to be
there
hold(ing) time

The act of painting is for me about slowing time and fracturing an image [or fracturing time and fragmenting an image] in a way not possible (or at least very difficult) in a photograph – creating an experience which cycles, like breath, and which can be endlessly replayed, extending forwards and backwards in time.

During graduate school, I’ve pushed my work to become more personal. A protagonist has appeared, lost in thought or contemplation of a vast landscape. She desires something inexpressible. She longs for something for which she has no words.
