I
Just as everything we see with our eyes has a description, we may also look closely at the living objects of the world and experience an endless fascination, and finally a mystery, with no description possible.
This is what the painted surface is - a describable image which also has this same depth, made from the same substance.

My methods of working involve a process of creating uncertainty in the behavior of the materials. While my intention is known to me, I nevertheless rely on only the simplest of ideas to begin, and then watch as the picture unfolds, making and destroying and remaking the image as I work.

Memory, fragmented and incomplete, is a large motivation for what I do. I paint to evoke the sense of distance - not space, but time. The traditional subjects of landscape, the figure, and the things of the world are rightly used to this end - the very things that are always with us, and always have been.
