In Between (at Craighead Green Gallery through April 25, 2026) explores the shifting relationship of memory and environment, where moments surface, dissolve, and return. Moving through abstraction and suggestion, the paintings draw from fragments of atmosphere, place, and lived experience. Layers of gesture and color build and recede across the surface, reflecting the way life is continually reshaped over time.
A quiet tension runs throughout the work. Ease and struggle, clarity and obscurity, presence and absence. Forms emerge and fade, colors drift, and surfaces carry traces of their making. What begins in effort often settles into moments of calm, revealing fleeting beauty within the slow passage of time.
Smaller works introduce fractures within the painted field. Cuts through the surface interrupt and expose the structure beneath, suggesting a fragility shaped by loss and renewal. Together, the works inhabit a space of transition where atmosphere shifts, time lingers, and meaning unfolds.
