What happens when a yellow spot becomes the sun?

Physically just a smudge of pigment on a surface, it is experienced as the life-giving energy at the center of our solar system. Through the process of painting, the materials are imbued with warmth and light and place and time.

In its role as a bridge between perception and reality, art can highlight a dissonance between simultaneous truths. My paintings appear from vantage points along this bridge, surveying the tension of duality.
