Interwoven Intimacies 2012

My paintings and assemblages are inquiries into the triangular relationship between nature, science and spirituality, specifically exploring the concepts of interconnectedness and intimacy. The work evolves by applying translucent layers of paint, interwoven with a diverse range of materials. Strips of stained canvas are often combined in the painting, while the incorporation of wood, ephemera or sheets of lead add additional layers of complexity to the panel's surface. Through the layering of paint and the reconfiguration of objects and natural materials, the work seeks to heal, bridge and define itself. The paintings are a spiritual as well as material exploration into the nature of our presence in the landscape.
