EXHIBITION STATEMENT:
‘flowers + fires (and the meaning we make)’ is a series of paintings that demonstrate and explore the physiological practice and process of healing. Working with core imagery of volcanoes and the endemic flora that grow in the wake of eruption – also called fire followers – the paintings serve as a vital, embodied inquiry into regenerative and restorative practices.
Each piece is made either partly or entirely through bilateral painting – a process that involves the application of paint to a surface with both bare hands at the same time. The physical experience of making the paintings influences their visual presence as well, as each piece holds and embodies the ‘reverb’ of this practice. Furthermore, this body of work was made while listening to tarantella music – an ancient Sicilian and Southern Italian healing ritual that consists of earthen, rhythmic drums, flutes, and strings. When experienced all together, the paintings create a space of quiet yet active reflection while calling the viewer into presence.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND:
As many of you know, I’ve been showing my paintings at Superfine since 2001 — a whole 25 years, almost half my lifetime <3 // It’s where I had my v first show in NYC, leading to many more years of living as an artist + many years of beautiful friendships, too. Looking back, each exhibit at Superfine is a point of measure of sorts, a cairn on the path ** it’s been five years since the last time my paintings adorned its big pink wall — and to all my friends + family in NYC, I hope you’ll join me! I’d love to share the new work w you and I also can’t wait to see your beautiful faces **
More details coming soon — and to all my peeps in NYC please save the date: Sunday November 8, 2-4pm at Superfine in Dumbo, Brooklyn @ 126 Front Street, my dear old stomping grounds **
