COLLECTION 2021
KAIROS
THE ANCIENT GREEKS HAD TWO WORDS FOR TIME—
Chronos, the forward ticking time that we measure with clocks or phases of the moon…
and Kairos, the moments when time seems to stand still, measured only by a feeling that things are just right, that everything is possible.
This body of work is a celebration of kairos.
Using traditionally crafted paper with exceptional bulk and delicate deckle edges, each piece begins as an experiment—whether with bold gestural marks, paint poured from above, abundant swipes, or flooded pools of pigment coaxed by gravity. As layers build and the distinctive identity of the painting begins to emerge, I then use hypothesis-driven approaches and critical thinking to carefully balance value, design, color, and line. But then audaciousness returns and so it goes, over and over again.
The energy is always oscillating between abandon and restraint, until it comes to rest in kairos.
