The works are painted. Each one is made by submerging sticks and objects in paint and releasing it onto the canvas laid on the floor. Throwing, dripping, letting it fall. Gravity, trajectory, and the arc of the gesture determine what forms. The image emerges from conditions that cannot be fully controlled or anticipated.
This is a series in progress. Each painting extends the inquiry rather than resolving it.
The works move across living forms through the same process, under the same conditions. What holds them together is not a theme but a recognition: that what animates life operates according to a logic that exceeds what can be fully seen or understood. The works do not explain this. They attempt to stay close to it.
The works begin where habitual perception loosens. What they explore is not a concept but a condition: the experience of presence before it is organized into thought, memory, or identity. The figure appears but does not hold. Recognition occurs but does not settle. Something is there, and then it isn't.
