STATEMENT
This group of paintings represents a portion of my recent work with common household objects, often in disarray. An egg, a tomato, a pitcher, an onion, torn paper, a broken dish or two - the simplicity of the object or objects is played against fantastic drapery or textured surfaces. Although the objects are recognizable, I consider these to be very abstract pieces. I am simply having fun with the angles and facets of the dishware, the subtlety of washed gray tones on an egg, the curve of stripes over a fold in the fabric, and the marvelous fluidity of the paint. I enjoy letting the paint flow, reining it in, throwing water on it, and covering a dry area with tiny crisp lines, controlling and releasing the paint in a rhythm over the surface.
It is my hope that my choice of subject matter will strike some as a humorous commentary on the formal still-life tradition, and also as a statement about the transience of life.
