On the Intervallum Paintings
Of all my work to date, the Intervallum paintings represent (as Rilke put it), “the necessary, irrepressible, and, as nearly as possible, definitive utterance of this singularity.”
They are the outcome of many years of searching and wandering, forgetting and remembering…and forgetting again.
While some artists valorize the timeless and tragic...my inclination is toward "the intersection of the timeless with time." Perhaps, in this work, heaven and earth are at last brought together.
