Sight Unseen
These images do not necessarily derive from an observable world, but stem from a belief in the legitimacy of the “magical”. The paintings push to more spiritual concerns, perhaps motivated by my own heightened sense of mortality and the fragility of life after becoming a mother. Overtly symbolic and even mystical, these paintings explore the nature of seeing and knowing. They stand at a margin of consciousness between that which is known and that which is felt; between objective analysis and intuitive understanding; between science and art. A more primal intelligence informs this work, and the act of painting becomes both a meditative and cathartic process.
