Through Myself and Back Again
2022—current
Through Myself and Back Again is a psychological, surreal, abstract figurative/landscape series based on my exploration of intergenerational trauma, time, interconnectivity, and the infinite. Centering on perpetually interwoven material human and earthly comprehension, shared between current and ancestral figures co-existing both within and beyond the limits of possible life experiences and exceeding the known, I create these paintings seeking a consciousness that transcends my own tangible place and existence.

Furthermore
It was something to let him go.
It was a having to believe, furthermore,
in the voyage
of the other, a Ulysses
without an Ithaca,
was to speak
of the sea
without speech
of the shore—
and to have for a body
the going away of the body, to have for eyes
the going away of the eyes. And for hearing,
a silence, where once
were people.
And for comfort, a dwelling
before each
steps into that weather
of which all
strangers speak.
