“My primary interest has been in painting the human figure in an interior space. I have been grappling with the problems of combining an oversized format, traditionally the venue of public and heroic painting, with, instead, an emphasis on the private and domestic. I see the still lifes as very related to the figure paintings. Often many of the same objects exist in both. In my most recent still lifes I have been thinking about possessions and their legacy (having recently lost a parent). As in the figure paintings I would like the still lifes to be able to hold several levels of meaning. There is often a sense of pun to them and also a literary quality—I am seeking a painting equivalent for the way in which, in a novel, a characterization can be conveyed by how the surface of things is presented.”
