Statement
With the painting of figures in motion come certain choices: to allow abstraction to overwhelm or obscure the figuration or to maintain clarity to the point of stillness? It is a necessity of process to lean towards abstraction with the depiction of motion. It’s the blur we see in photographs as the subject moves across the field of view. It’s the flutter in the corner of the eye that alerts us to a shift in the calm.
