“To lose yourself: a voluptuous surrender, lost in your arms. lost to the world, utterly immersed in what is present so that it’s surroundings fade away…to be lost is to be fully present, and to be fully present is to be capable of being in uncertainty and mystery.”
Rebecca Solnit – A Field Guide to Getting Lost
When I found this book I thought I was lost. Upon reading it, I understood that lost is what I need to become. It suggested to me a way of working that was less deliberate, less controlled. This series of work is more about losing myself than deliberately creating a picture. Being lost in thematic pondering, in layers, impediments, abrasion, erasure, heat and materials… painting my way into painting.

“Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.”
