Exhibition Statement (provided by the artist)
In late 2016, we moved from the house and studio where I had lived and worked for almost 20 years; the space where I created the time-intensive large-scale paintings upon which I built my career.
Renovations on our new home forced a period of creative transition, necessitated by limitations of time and space, and the grand, quiet, atmospheric canvases were replaced by smaller, noisier, faster works on paper.
These works represent a period of changes and transitions; a period that ultimately produced three visually different, but thematically connected, bodies of work.
