aircrafts
An old friend of mine said these paintings seem like they are about something vast and very specific at the same time. The vastness is definitely represented by the aircrafts. They are mystery, the unknowable, the unattainable and the divine. They can rescue us, they can carry us to or away from our loved ones, and they can bring us home. They are dangerous yet exhilarating. They are the realization of the human desire to fly, but most of us don’t understand how it is even possible.
The very specific parts of these paintings are (in many but not all cases) scenes that I see every day where I live. Whether it be a bed that I sleep in or a falling down shed that I drive by on my way to work, these things bind me to the here and now.
