“I learned that just beneath the surface there's another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper…there is goodness…but another force, a wild pain and decay, also accompanies everything.” David Lynch

The meaning arrives late and unannounced in these works and while the canvas, stretchers, linseed oil, soot and heavy metals don’t move, they do hold time. This pause allows the surface to become unfamiliar, unfurling and summoning suggestion. Considering painting as an object or monument, the mark making becomes almost stubborn, confidently holding its ground at the eye of the storm.
