“They speak to me about mortality, and also about the lies that painting can tell – how the skin that is painted and the skin made of paint are both illusions. I am reminded also of another term from theater: catharsis, the soul purged of its excessive passions, a purification through an emotional climax. As I look at these pictures I think of Greek Tragedy: combining minimal means with a density of emotion. The hands function as stand ins for the figures – a sort of Greek chorus who mimic and echo the action and serve that way to define it.”
Reservoir Dogs (1992) & Peripety series (2008)
