In my new work in contemporary realism I try to
capture the meaning of the Latin phrase, finitum
capax infiniti, “the finite is capable of the infinite,”
which means that the material world can give us
glimpses of the eternal. It is an apt description of
how I feel about our connection to the material
world.
In some respects, I have become a chronicler of
empty spaces. I don’t believe that a place ever
loses its human presence. People live, die, or
move on, but their spirit remains. We leave
something of ourselves behind in the spaces we
inhabit, either in the physical changes we make,
or because of the dings and dents of time.
Therefore, in a sense, there are no real empty
spaces.
Presently, my quest is to try to capture this in
two dimensional form, and the technique of
glazing in oil paint seems to suit the subject
matter and my temperament. This slow layering
of color seems to correspond to the patina of
living that inexorably descends upon a particular
place. Glazing is a painting method that allows me
time for careful thought and introspection.
