Artist Statement
Remnants

Nature warns us: reuse, repurpose, recycle.

So we reconsider: What is enough? What do we really need? What is already here?

The paintings in this show are my remnants, the pieces that were left behind.

It was living with them, reconsidering them that I began to see them rather than what they lacked.

What they carry I offer here as a healing.
I do not recycle these remnants.
These remnants recycle me.
