Curator’s Comment:

 

This is a very intense, probing mixed media work.  The exquisite combination of oil paint and digital media are fluidly connected by tone, muted color, and gestural mark-marking.  I perceive the piece as a cohesive drawing in its entirety; the linear elements bring me through a series of events and darkened passageways.  The strong value pattern gives an overall sense of foreboding that builds through the compartmentalizated narrative.  I read the piece in sequential panels.  It seems as through the succession of the three stepped images at the top culminate into an open air theatrical stage in the large final bottom section.  The slightly skewed enclosures remain open at the top, giving the viewer a voyeuristic vantage point to the scene in which tiny figures move through and illuminate the maze-like set.  Dramatic lighting seems critical to the understanding of the piece- which also heightens the mood of the unspecified encounters.   The figures attempt to illuminate the space with hand held lights, appearing to be searching.  Indeed, the viewer is in a similar predicament, exploring clandestine imagery and spot lights on lonely platforms.  We are pulled into the space and experience the allure of the forlorn and lost.
