These pieces, from the Bog series and the Colony Farms work, use mark to explore the relationship between the deliberate and the surrendered; Pollock-like scribbles naturally reveal the energy behind their origin, whereas negative spaces are rendered with deliberation and photo-transferred imagery sits still like a caught moment. I am asking, “when might I be completely surrendered to the movement of life through me and when more intentional, willful? What does each look like and are the differences real or perceived?”

Here is what I was thinking making the Bog pieces…

Bog. I love the word, like God, only earthy. It’s the perfect word for this place that feels so magical and at the same time so detached. The bog doesn’t have a Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon kind of impact, its style is more of an unfolding, a presence that rewards attention. The bog is a metaphor for itself, pointing beyond itself, beneath itself to dark layers of process, one thing becoming another.
