Co-creation with the cosmos

Painting along the grain.

Wood grain is a physical record of cosmic rhythm. Time, weather, gravity, seasons, the rotation of the earth — these are the forces that have slowly inscribed themselves into matter. To follow that grain with a brush is to integrate the self into the whole — something far older and larger than the individual. This is both act and expression. I call this practice Cosmic Rhythm.

In recent years, I have been working with reclaimed wood collected from the Netherlands.
