THE POSSIBLE GARDEN
Utrecht, The Netherlands
2019-2020The Possible Garden responds to the seasonal processes and cycles of living and dying in the now. The botanical elements of the painting are rendered to compress the background and foreground of the picture plane and embody the ambiguity of living and dying simultaneously.
The process of building a painting forced me to look at the garden as a system of string figures where relations are composed of moments of interaction. The works attempt to hold in place continuous change. Each work is painted over a span of four to six months and the images are informed by the changing landscape in the garden. Some of the paintings record specific moments of transition such as the shift in seasons, while others embody growth over time. Thus, the static paint on a surface is capable of evoking evidence of constant activity and movement.
