The Domestic Collection- The object as a utopian proposal

It is what we all long for on vacation, that chance even if the moment is fleeting of complete peace.  The opportunity to get away from it all and transcend the stresses of daily living to bask in tranquility.  The Domestic Collection captures that moment.  Each piece is designed to let the viewer transport themselves into another place and time.

There is a moment we create just by inhabiting the space we are in.  What happens to that space after we have departed?  Do the memories linger long after the time has ended?  These are the questions proposed by my paintings.  Can we savor the moments that make up our lives?  These paintings are designed to give the viewer space.  In a time when most of our lives are spent living at a frantic pace the Domestic Collection gives the observer an opportunity to reflect upon the moment that is documented in front of them.  It is one crystal moment in time when all that is in front of them, is all that there is.

Home, and the objects that make up the place where we dwell.  Can these basic elements of our daily existence take us beyond our mundane tasks?  I pose the question that they may guide us in our earth bound life, while being a framework to transport us into a higher plane.  You the viewer will find the answer.
