IN STILLNESS (2020)
Each canvas: 38”x 74” (96 x 192 cm)
Paper Installation: 140” x 90” (355 x 228 cm)
In Stillness explores instances of change, transformation, and the passage of time. Paying tribute to that which is felt but imperceptible, each of these artistic visualizations highlight transitions from one state to another. Through the careful manipulation of line, form, object, and light, a silent dynamism reverberates through the space, emphasizing how spatial intervals are opportunities for contemplation and reflection. These artworks silently present the question: What may happen in and during apparent emptiness? The artist explores how in-between spaces are full of meaning, expanses of hidden possibility, and moments to see connections between things. By coaxing materiality from the unseen, the artist performs an act of spiritual practice.
