Artist Statement:
The Wax Drawings lie in the
core reality of struggle and
chaos from which I work to
extract a sense of elegance
and hope.
With a background in
psychology, I understand that
in order to affect change I
must first work though chaos –
to attempt to see the
underlying connections that
exist between seemingly random
events. Trust and a profound
connection to the process, the
act of painting or drawing
itself, is what activates my
work.
The Wax Drawings begin with a
gesture, which is then
preserved under a layer of
wax. Working in the moment,
layers of wax are built up
with time and subtracted with
heat. In the process, the
simple interaction of gravity
and gesture seem to create a
moving picture.
To look at them individually,
within the various groupings,
the differences may appear
subtle. Yet each has its own
physicality and unique way of
interacting with the elements
and materials at play on the
page. I am intrigued by how
kinetic the work can appear in
one moment and quiet the next
- as if the physical energy
has been quieted in the
process of being created.
