Press Release
edit

Taking the window as a point of departure—at once a structure for seeing and an old trope in painting—the works in Wind-Eye invoke painting as a technology of location. They document summertime meanderings, queer moments reflected in a pane of glass, rain on the skin and rivulets of cloud and light, cascading out from waves.

Bringing together works in acrylic, oil and mixed-media, the variety of techniques demonstrate an ongoing inquiry into the juncture of the sensual, formal, and environmental. Multiple works incorporate sand and other materials, in the quest for a vibrant surface. The use of internal subdivision and abutting passages refracts multiple places into the frame of each work while the palette, predominantly pastel with sections of deep blue and violet, conjures the uncertainty of dusk, when the world beckons through the window. Throughout Wind-Eye, wind-swept gestures caress and flow like garlands or fingers.
