My current work is focused on the woodland interior as a site for events that stem from memories of experiences as a child, an adolescent and an adult. The paintings emphasize an uncanny aspect of these moments.

The Forest:

A place of childhood discovery.

A site of adolescent sexual retreat, the green world.

A return to a spiritual haven.

The spaces depicted are the more intimate surroundings of rocks, trees and water as experienced in the forest, the being in as opposed to the looking upon these circumstances. These staged juxtapositions suggest the human presence even when the figure is unseen.

The forest: Nostalgic, Erotic, Elegiac
