What has Come to Be
What’s been happening takes its toll. I don’t know what to do. What’s doing? Don’t know. But what’s to do? Accept that I don’t know and look to see what comes to be. Where did it come from? Don’t know. What does it mean? Don’t know. What now? Just paint.

Plastic Vortex
Assemblage paintings, made from single-use & non-recyclable plastic crap.
Most conventional plastic crap is made from non-biodegradable petrochemicals— instead of decomposing over time, it simply breaks down into smaller & smaller pieces.
Inexpensive and simple to manufacture, costly and inconvenient to recycle. Produced on a massive scale, used in endless ways, by countless humans, throughout the day; often discarded and disregarded in mere minutes.
The waste created from plastic crap has only accumulated over time, impacting our physical health and the environment.
By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans

Finding Our Way
Based on the Greek myth of Theseus defeating the minotaur and finding his way out of the labyrinth with string, these pieces deal with feeling lost while navigating the mayhem of 2020, both in the domestic setting with energetic children, and in the wider world. Not neglecting other aspects of this bizarre time, this series also looks at the quiet moments of concern for loved ones, the contrast of volatility and vulnerability, the constriction and gladness of being (home)bound together, and above all the desire to live and love as we wish.
