The reason I love making silk paintings is that there are almost no opportunities to course correct. Instead, mistakes are folded into the composition with tender acceptance. Beginning with an invisible resist, I lay out my design onto the stretched white silk. Dye is then painted into each enclosed section with care as I stretch my body, hovering across the middle of the horizontal plane. In these twin paintings, ghosts and memories and big lost-and-found love swirl together with everything that is optimistic about the meaning and miracle that exists within the joyful, relentless passing of time.
