| Images are freely embedded into the paintings. Each piece becomes a fragmented facet of personal life compacted onto the painted surface. Yet the greater the amount of information, personal or other, the harder it seems to achieve communication or meaning. All images only seem to lead back to the surface~ Jeremy Stenger |
