I was asked to paint sunflowers for someone. I bet they expected me to put the flowers in a vase.

For this series, I have taken these non-objects, these things-built-for-things and elevated them into objects in themselves. Divorced from their original purpose, they have been saved from their fate as trash and reborn as bricks, blocks and slabs. These two dimensional paintings are flat studies of offcuts and glimpses, voids and edges, often derived from sculptures and three dimensional objects. Maps and instructions directions to unknown places without using words. The passage of time confers value up.

Från och med nu finner ni mig här. Måndag, du var inte så farlig och hemsk som jag egentligen anat. Imorgon är det bal som står på schemat och jag har under årets lopp inte kännt något större hets av balklänning, skor, smink och hår vilket har varit väldigt skönt då det varit så mycket annat att tänka på.

Seventeen of us from Resurrection Fellowship. Flew to McAllen, Texas on the day after Christmas and met another group member from Providence Church. There, as well as two from Resurrection who had driven down a van full of tools. Our 20 crossed the border in a string of numbered white vans all partnering with Homes for the Homeless, a ministry of Strategic Alliance. De-icing the jet before leaving Denver. Leaving McAlllen to cross the border. Arrival at El Camino Hotel.
