Archaeology speaks of human beings and time. Here it is as if time was suspended in the work itself, giving weight to the texture of my feelings as if they were laid down in paint, crayon, word and paper.<\/p>\n

Each work is the site for an excavation. Layers of inner experience are revealed, their quality and structure can be seen.<\/p>\n

In a physical sense the painted works are composed of many layers of opaque and transparent pigment, generating a rich surface. The history of each work is documented by its appearance. Smudges, swirls of paint, dabs and streaks, scribbled lines \u2013 these are used to plot shifts and currents of feeling. A chart is made, which, like a map of ocean currents or atmospheric conditions, makes visible what is invisible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
