About this Work
Gardens are full of coincidences. The creature that returns to the same spot, the shadow that crosses the same threshold, the rustle by the back door that you’ve stopped investigating because you know, now, that it’s always there. By The Door is a painting about the domestic wild, the animal that has claimed a little territory in your everyday.
Pale sage green grounds the work in a quiet, interior light. The creature, long-bodied, low-slung, a fluid silhouette built from collaged blues and corals and fine-lined marks, seems at ease in its position, habitual. The composition is close and familiar. This is not a chance encounter. This one belongs here.
