The paintings from this series originate from an interest in the alchemical transformation of materials and the processes and forces that control phenomena of the material world. I use a very specific color palette sampled from a wide variety of natural sources in the landscape/environment and from the flora in particular: reflections from water, festering storm clouds, young fronds, sugar cane, exhausted foliage, flowers, lichens, soil. The colors, which I rigorously match, are blended on-site. The samples are then taken into the studio where I mix larger quantities of these matched colors. The paintings are in some sense a recording or sampling of these physical phenomena in which the created shapes and voids suggest portals and slips in time and space.
