The outside edge of a panel or canvas influences how an interior shape, color or texture is perceived and felt. To me, it’s important to recognize that a context does so much to define the relationships taking place within it.

Many of my paintings are on the verge of looking like something, but I’m happiest when they remain elusive intimations. I love it when a painting is allowed to be, even if for just a moment, nothing more than itself.
