I began creating the paintings for this exhibit long before my anticipated loss, changing the name and the storytelling of Dissolution's final form as the loss transpired. The works symbolize pieces of me in a storyline of love and pain. They are fragments of grief personified. Memories conflated from a life once lived, a life in dissolution
The process for this painting started a few years before this exhibit. I captured a specific gesture where Ziggy is looking at me and he really sees me. It is organic in its large brush strokes and shapes. I had every intention to polish the face a bit more, but it never felt right. When he died, I didn't touch it again. It's final form had concluded.
Dispatches from the Liminal Bathroom
Dispatches from the Liminal Bathroom is a newsletter for anyone who loves paintings, strange spaces, weird monologues, and the occasional sideways glimpse into the creative process. This is where my paintings meet the fieldnotes and monologues that orbit them — thoughts that surface sideways, like signals from another room.
You’ve wandered into a portal disguised as a newsletter.
Subscribing means stepping into a slower rhythm — new works, reflections on process, fieldnotes, odd transmissions, and low-key rebellions. Sometimes glimpses from the studio. Sometimes a pattern that only reveals itself when you stay in the portal a little longer.
There’s no urgency here. Just a threshold where art unfolds, and the writing follows. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like.
