I work in layers of wax, pigment, and oil paint, scraping away the surface, revealing, re-covering, reworking, and repeating the process again and again. The painting evolves to become the remnant of its own making––layers of intuitive and fragmentary marks made visible through the translucent luminosity of the wax. The paintings are meant to resist fixed meanings, equivocating on the edge between revelation and concealment, intention and accident, meaning and randomness, grace and indifference.
