DAY, NIGHT

This exhibition stems from an interest in how we perceive objects, particularly the instability inherent in the very instant that we believe them to be clearly understood. While we may assume that the objects, landscapes, and faces of others before us are recognized as distinct forms, that sense of clarity is always a provisional one, in the context of our experience of perception. Familiar scenes become unfamiliar in an instant, objects that were once distinct become blurred, and the world we believed we were seeing manifests itself in a different way. What I seek to do in my practice is to explore such moments, when these kinds of lapses or failures of perception take shape as painterly scenes.
