This exhibition follows, Land/Mind, presented this past May and June at Blouin Division gallery in Toronto, and continues that series of oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings produced since 2021 until now.
These recent paintings appear to be landscapes, trees, plants, water and sky, yet they do not represent any particular scene or location. I don’t want the images to be narrative or about anything specific. They reference the earthly and the terrestrial, but are from a different world. I aspire to conjure atmosphere or ambience – an energy or pulse that resonates poetically within the spirit or the imagination.
