“In this series of paintings I use the images of birds in an exploration of a moment of time that encompasses the source of light as knowledge, art, and lightness of spirit. It is the gesture of wild things, boldly emerging from places of containment or darkness into an awareness of discovery. They exist in a delicate moment of balances in space, and I seek to portray this energy even in stillness. I am interested in moments of expanded time, a gesture that is fleeting but remains in memory as infinite in its completeness. Through the images of wild things, birds in flight, animals in motion, I attempt to get close to their natural state of freedom. My images are vessels of a struggle, along a path that is both arcane and familiar in a timeless way. In exploring the aura around all things, I am down to that light from an unknown source, and the desire to pay attention to the vanishing language written on the land and all nature.”
