“...The idea of making a painting that is quiet, at times a bit complicated and stirred, yet ordered and dreamy is at the center of these works. They are airy and do not assert themselves as matter. For the most part, they tend to exist in the sky or in the water. They incorporate aspects of the decorative arts and are concerned with both what a painting can be and what painting already is. I am lost inside of them. They include questions and have their own demands. They always want to be more than they are. It is difficult to be legible, challenging to be generous, and an effort to push through a variety of obstacles in order to give fully to them.”
