the following are paintings from patchwork chamber, an exhibition with my collaborator Kathleen Quaintance. it showed in december 2019 at the A*space gallery of Sarah Lawrence College.
exhibition statement:
the patchwork chamber is the multiplicitous unity where mating and birthing take place. warm and enclosed yet with a way in and out, for us to move through or peer into. its very fabric is both of nonliving nature and formed cooperatively by living creatures. what appears to be decoration is indeed always with purpose, but that purpose does not exclude, yet never is exclusively, comfort.

embrichord was born of meditation on the mind/body relation. in reality, there is no part of the art-making process (or our perpetual state of being in the world) that is only bodily or only mental. yet an imagination of deconstruction still reveals the body and the intellect as essences in these processes. the video shows the first phase (body) of a deconstructed painting process, while finished pieces show the second (mind). both the video and the paintings were on display in Heimbold Visual Arts Center in Bronxville, New York in November 2019.
