Our lives are made up of singular moments. Some are mundane. Some are heartbreaking. Some are beautiful. Many are somewhere between these extremes. A painting takes that moment and preserves it - shares it with others and sets it down for eternity. Or so one would think. Paintings are meant to endure - they are meant to be passed down through the ages and become a record of their time.
The fires and political turmoil of this year have shown us that little is guaranteed - that things we take for granted can so easily be lost in a moment. There is a solitary quality to the paintings in this show - a sense of waiting, a sense of being in the in-between, of moments about to happen.
Life is the sum of those moments - intense joy, deep darkness, and everything that exists in between.
