The central focus of my work over the last fifteen years has been the still life.
I find the subject endless, perhaps even inexhaustible given the complexity and variety of the everyday world that surrounds us. It is from this complexity even chaos, that I attempt to salvage a few things from the world around me. Mundane things, which perhaps through the process of drawing and close observation will become the impetus for the making of a picture. I seek a certain order,clarity and balance in my work, while at the same time retaining the tensions that are implicit in the process of seeing, drawing and painting.I have found that still life opens a wide range of possibilities for the infinite arrangement, selection and manipulation of both the reality at hand and the formal elements of painting; light, color, composition. In this sense it is the most abstract form of realism one can practice, at once formal while at the same time firmly anchored to reality. This apparent ambivalence or duality found in still life bridges the gap in my work between traditional illusionistic space and flat modern abstract space. It has come to represent in my experience the essence of what paintings communicate: that which is still, visual and silent, an echo of our existance, the trace of our passing.
