The paintings represented in this body of work are about journeys that make paths from the external world into the interior space of the individual. While the substance of the landscape has contributed to the language of these painting as, they are more than mere visual records. Instead the paintings are better understood as "memory effects," a vocabulary of visual forms that accumulate like vibrations. For this to take place, the view is always opened and exposed until it has destroyed itself as a closed substance, until we are left with the something that is beyond stubborn matter - beyond the mere thingness of things. In this way, the vocabulary of the paintings work to articulate a perception of the inner substance of things. The paintings invoke vast expanses, stark spaces, and barreness but more importantly they seem to manifest those unconscious resonances that linger in the speechlessness that fills one long after the view has disappeared. -Kerry Moore
