Horizon
april 3 - 31, 2009

I am interested in the problem of understanding: how it is we are able to make sense of anything in a hugely complex and constantly changing world.

“Horizon” addresses the phenomenon of “making sense”, first, as I paint—each painting starts as a random field of  color and gesture from which I must elicit an order; second, as the images I make and the stories I tell to evoke the places I love encounter the memories and stories of others, they shift the horizon for each; and, finally, for the strangers who enter the gallery and encounter a band of complex, familiar-but-unnamable, colored shapes, the painting itself becomes a strange horizon, offering new bits of information to be fitted into their understanding of space and place and painting.
