Artist Statement
In my work, the photograph (the artifact) is the trace of a solitary performance; a record of marks made with light in time and space. The language of painting is explored through spontaneous and expansive gestural activity, allowing the performance process itself to create the work.
The physicality of the performance of painting is suggested in these works by the figure; the trace of existence in space and time. Through this trace, the work investigates the interrelationship between absence and presence, as opposite but complementary states of being. In the context of my work, I define being as existence, physical or otherwise. Being is material, spatial, temporal and metaphysical.
The physical dynamic of the performance, along with the darkness of the space, the solitary nature of the activity, and the transient and ephemeral nature of the medium, provide an integral experience of painting within the work. The photographic trace that remains contains a record of that activity, a moment of being.
