“My paintings are little riddles, hieroglyphs of a world that I am intimately familiar with, yet am still learning the language of. It is similar to moving to another country and not speaking the language. My hand acts as a virtual camera, capturing the details of a particular moment, freezing it in paint for our collective memory. The rabbits and mice seem to have very little awareness, if any at all, that I am documenting these observations. It is a bit like being a ghost and traveling to another place and taking pictures, then bringing those photos back to share with my ghost friends. You are my ghost friends. Look at what I have seen.”
