“I will often use plants or flowers to help address the notions of space and form I become invested in, placing them in arrangements against complex backgrounds contrived to create various kinds of contrast. As often, the plants serve to be their own complex entity. The Cutchogue Series had their actual origin from a previous body of work concerned with the Begonia plant as a form of portrait painting; the plant was painted from observation at eye-level, not looking from above to below as in most still-life’s. I approached the plant as if it were an entity speaking directly to me, on my level, eye to eye.”
