Tepals Fronds Sepals IV

The numerosity of marks in textile pattern beckoned me to create the “Tepals|Fronds|Sepals” series. Each brushstroke suggests small botanical components interlocking to create a larger complex system, which may be interpreted as landscape or simply decorative pattern. Marks on the canvas weave through space, with vibrant potency or quiet dissipation. The paintings distort the line between mystery and elucidation, ephemeral and permanence, phantasm and reality.
