Time is a social construct used to organize human experience, create order, and manage life, rather than a reality.

The physical universe involves change, but the division into hours, seconds, and linear progression is a man-made framework for understanding existence.

Capture

Since 2012, my practice has primarily centered on the accumulation of "timestamps"—fleeting marks, objects, and images that document the specificity of occupied time. While these collected moments may appear insignificant in isolation, their collective volume creates a tangible record of human experience.

I view each mark as a precise coordinate positioned upon a fragile timeline.

Materiality and Process

Within the process of capturing, the medium is the vehicle by which the “timestamp” is realized. At times, this occurs spontaneously, as with the “Vessel” series where the graphite and transient canvas of a coffee cup presented themselves in the moment. Whereas, with the “Walk” series, I chose a sequence of over forty canvases to mirror the repetitive rhythm of a physical journey and oil paint to imbue the soft reflection of the filtered light.

With “Pond” my subject is always with me. The pnnd is near my home and has been part of my landscape both visually and physically all of my life. It was not until I had a camera on my phone, that I began capturing it on my walks. Like the other series, it began as one single moment and contijued with each walk A true “timestamp” of those momnets and the atmospheric shifts.
