Flight
All the shapes we see on these paintings are the result of light shapes I traced as sunlight came through my studio windows and landed on the works. The surface qualities and color relationships were generated through the complex mixtures and layers of various paints applied within those boundaries. Uncertainty and collaboration with the nonhuman world are central to this work. Each painting from this ongoing series takes its title from a species of bird, evoking an animal defined by free movement and migration.
