I am currently researching the terms limbo and suspense through the act of painting and drawing. I see myself as a director, or an assembler of conversations wherein the participants - be it animals, objects or persons - are frozen in a state of limbo; leaving it up to the viewer to infuse meaning or narrative. My compositions are like screenplays without scripts - epic dramas without action or movement. The moments they depict do not exist, and have never existed, yet they are not untrue. They are not mere documentations, but emerge as validations of time and self through the arduous process of making.
