... began in 2017 when I was thinking about the idea of paradise as a walled garden. There is an ever-changing perfection in the relationship between sea, sky, land, night and day where I live. The depths of information and infinite combinations have all the markers of a bucolic paradise.
Utopia "an imagined 'place' or state of things in which everything is perfect." has a twist in that its origin is ‘ou topos’ or no place. Inherent in the idea of perfection is the sense of non-existence.
As a painter I have recourse in the space of the canvas. It is my utopia, that area where I can find a perfect form, where I have first and last say in the structure and atmosphere. So the criteria for each of these works is that it’s elements must relate to one another in such a way as to create the exact right or true alignment
-for me.
