What I am trying to paint is a subtle space that defies impermanence, where everything that happens gets stored. Portraits of a resilient space charged with an impeccably clear and vivid memory. I am looking at what this space can look like on personal, community, national, worldly scales, and painting characters into this space with their own stories, personal backgrounds, culture, emotions, spiritual and political views. May this spatial representation empower disenfranchised individuals and communities and allow space for resolution. May it also be a constant and recurring validation of our shared experience.
