The figure never fully arrives.

It remains suspended between abstraction and recognition.

These images began as experiments in color, line, atmosphere, and shape.

I was interested in how little information is needed before we recognize life.

A curve becomes a shoulder.

A line becomes a gesture.

A cluster of color becomes a presence.

The figures never fully emerge.

They remain incomplete.

Perhaps that is why they feel familiar.

We complete them ourselves.
