“I learned that just beneath the surface there’s another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper…there is goodness…but another force, a wild pain and decay, also accompanies everything.” David Lynch

Something is pressing up from beneath. The surfaces hold back histories and myths; they do not feel like fixed boundaries but rather, thresholds. The artworks share a preoccupation with forces that exceed our control: erosion, detonation, evaporation, spectral return, decomposition, ecological fragility or blinding light. Considering painting as an object or monument, the mark-making becomes almost stubborn, confidently holding its ground at the eye of the storm.
