This piece is based on some quick photographs I took of dining room windows at night. I hoped to capture the way the plates of glass skew and distort what they reflect and also to transform something mundane and empty into something charged with energy - a haunting and ominous symmetrical altar scene for the largely faithless - touching on fear of the unknown and the nature of existence. I was always freaked out by empty windows at night when I was young - the anticipation of what could suddenly appear out of all that blackness - and I wanted to convey that feeling, using it as a metaphor for adult anxieties about where we're heading and what potential and unavoidable disasters may lie just ahead of us. The painting is braced to prevent warping and can be hung with sawtooth hangers on the back.

I see each of my paintings as a dense collection of layered missteps guided by a single underlying intention. In most of my work, I’m attempting a semi-realistic interpretation of an imagined environment, employing realism and abstraction in a way that gives the impression of a scene on the verge of collapse. The photographic source material I use serves as both a jumping off point and something to fight against. I try to glean from the source only that which resonates with me and dispose of the rest so as to avoid slavish depiction. The ideal result is a faint echo or a total reconstruction of what is observed, anchored by recurring themes of nostalgia, my own existential anxieties and the corruption of human memory. I view the painting process as a form of self-examination – the end product’s value lying in the thoughts, emotions and memories I’ve projected onto the objective source.
