Color Remembered

Memory does not store color accurately. It stores the feeling of color — and that is what I try to paint. When I think of a particular evening, I do not see exact hues. I feel a temperature, a weight, a kind of light. The landscapes I make are attempts to translate that felt color onto canvas. This is why the work moves between landscape and abstraction. The closer I get to the feeling, the less the painting resembles a specific place — and the more it resembles an experience.
