RECLAIMING THE FLAG

Yosef's Bones

Diptychs, Triptychs and beyond

Years ago, while living by the sea, I spent days wandering the woods, through pine forests, around ponds, out to the back shore then home via a different path. My intention was to get lost in my surroundings, becoming one large mind hearing/seeing. When I got lucky I was rewarded with a wide perspective—sharply seeing each individual tree simultaneously, hearing each separate pine needle fall. I experienced all the details—there was no background, each detail was as important as any other. My intention here is to recreate that state of mind. I use tiny brushes and lose myself in details, trying to paint each droplet of water so every inch of the painting is flowing, creating a surface that expresses a state of complete foreground in which every detail is equally important.
