The form emerges gradually, by trial and error, through experience—and above all, through play. There is something affective, jubilant, and fascinating in discovering new forms. Inventing objects without concern for their usefulness or function—the only function they are given here is to be a form to paint, existing solely for their image. Hollow objects. A collection of familiar ectoplasms trying to reclaim a place in reality by attaching themselves to a shape remembered or imagined by each viewer.

The gaze moves from one to the next, searching for clues—often unreliable—to decode a meaning through comparison or association, however approximate.

Sometimes there is an intention, a direction, prior to the painting (or the series); sometimes the idea arises along the way, drawn from a material that is as fertile as it is accidental.

Generally, there are few elements in the paintings: a single form or object, and a monochrome space that envelops it. This space acts as a cutout or mask, defining the outer contours of the form, completing the object, reinforcing its presence through a deliberately false assertion.
