Observing what might have just passed
My paintings are constructed out of planned, precise geometry, but in the contained motive, I want the scenes depicted to appear unorganized and unplanned, as opposed to a staged tableau. The figures in the scenes are not posing, they are unaware of the spectator – who observes the scene from a slightly odd point of view, like if stumbling upon a situation by accident, just getting a glimpse of something playing out.
