From Valley House Gallery:
“As is characteristic of all of my work, the paintings, drawings, and sculptures in this exhibition are figurative, quietly expressive, and utilize a range of abstraction. The recent paintings allude to various archetypal themes, among them, the mythological narrative of Icarus—a narrative that symbolizes our irrepressible striving to transcend our earthly existence. In the Icarus paintings, I have portrayed this character suspended in a liminal space, free from hubris or defeat. In the latest drawings, intersecting figures reference the arboreal phenomenon of inosculation as a metaphor for the interconnectedness that necessarily grows out of the friction of human relationships. The recent sculptures consist of heads and figures constructed with colored plaster, using a new variation of this unique process. While the forms are mostly representational, the use of color is explicitly non-representational, adding a layer that is meant to be symbolically provocative.”
