There is a dream that sticks with me, begging attention. Time is making it thin.
Figuring prominently: neverending clonal doorways, halls, stairs—all white.

Encaustic monotypes require an extraordinary openness to chance, to the inclinations of melting & flowing materiality. While anticipating something entirely different from what I’ve made prior, the forms and lines that took shape and became melded—embedded—in the paper were strikingly similar to the work I have created before with specific intention. Figuring prominently: cellular-like, organic, moments of great change suspended in time.

The resulting individual prints are a combination of memory, practice, personal experience and the echoes of dreams. Like sound creating imagery, not necessarily diagnostic. Figuring prominently: the subconscious and its determination to seek form instead of thought.
