They call out to me, sometimes for a brief conversation, and other times for a lengthy one. I listen to them. The only way I know how to respond to them truthfully is to paint them, unembellished.
Since March of 2020, I developed a new dialogue began between myself and the objects surrounding me. This process resulted in a series of paintings that create a ubiquitous but often overlooked emotion. The objects depicted can exhibit just as much, if not more, emotion than what human beings are able to exert themselves. Those small daily nuances, which are known to every one of us, often tend to be quite inconspicuous and underappreciated. However, the simplicity of these objects, allow for them to liberated from the harsher judgments of daily life.
