Artist Statement

The paintings in Somewhere in Between span the last three years of an ever-shifting existence. Floating in a state of limbo somewhere between life and death, between here and there, between then and now and what is yet to be. Traversing wandering threads of individual and connected lives as they pass through time and space. Exploring uncertainty of the unknown and seeking comfort without answers.

A unifying element throughout the exhibit is a dark expanse that splits the canvas in two. The work explores what materializes on either side of the split, and questions what connects them through the chasm in between. Colors and patterns, inspired by the contrasting landscapes of the lush Northeast and arid vastness of the Sonoran desert, amalgamate opposing visual aspects. Light and dark tones, warm and cool colors, matte and reflective surfaces, assertions between foreground and background, and interplay of solid and amorphous shapes, all push and pull against each other. Allowing the eye to wander across the canvas, zigzagging, doubling back, and passing through, on a singular journey of exploration with no end destination, only an experience of what endures.
