Artist Statement:
These paintings concern
intellectual quiet. They are
immediate, fresh, feral,
quick, sensitive and silent.
They are grounded,
evolutionary and calm. Art is
a private language. Speech
codification (like bipedal
locomotion) defines the human
circumstance. The paintings
are translations of that
private language.
Abrading sentiment from the
technique turned blending of
color into a whole new method.
Scouring the surface of a
painting forced the artist to
“dissolve the romantic notion
that suffering created the gap
in which art takes place.”
With nothing left to loose,
she let go. “Liberate the
doubt and restricted
excitement and taste the
difference.” The cumulative
result of release was an
increasingly deep and spacious
quiet. Doubt and hope became
wishful illusions.
“Choose a habit and then try
to break it. Just prior to
resolution, the painting
engages in adolescent
rebellion and threatens to
riot. Then there is an
ecstatic release of tension in
both of us. Silence announces
completion of each painting.”
The paintings are named after
the artist’s ancestors. They
were ordinary people who
stayed alive in some pretty
heroic circumstances. They
bore at least one child and
therefore she is alive now.
