Looking out
of
a
window,
you
are
taken
from
your
immediate
environment
to
a
different
place
of
movement,
and
atmosphere.
The
light
is
different;
the
air
is
different,
yet
each
place
has
a
direct
correlation
to
the
other
because
of
the
way
light
leaks
from
one
to
the
next.
This
idea
is
actualized
in
my
paintings
of
interior
and
exterior
scenes.
I
began
to
think
of
public
spheres
that
enclose
and
define
one
environment
from
the
next
as
a
form
of
being
in
two
places
at
once.
My
compositions
situate
the
viewer
looking
out
of
windows
so
that
the
light
and
movement
from
the
exterior
has
a
relationship
to
that
of
the
interior.
The
paintings
are
about
looking,
discovering
the
relationships
between
what’s
familiar
and
what’s
new.
The
experience
of
being
in
between
two
worlds
is
echoed
in
the
viewer’s
relationship
to
the
painting,
requiring
the
viewer
to
suspend
his/her
disbelief
from
the
reality
of
the
physical
world.
