Fog Painting

oil, pastel, charcoal on canvas Currently housed at MAS Interior Design in Oakland, CA This was the last canvas for [Lack of] Being and one that I worked over and over. Unlike most of the others this image was not premeditated and my vision formed as the painting progressed. The space it creates might seem ominous, but the forest is a place where I feel the most content. I grew up near the Appalachians, an ancient, lush, and nurturing setting. The woods were my exploratorium, and a source of imagination and inspiration. I would wander for hours not knowing where I was going, but never got lost; I always found a direction to go in and followed it whole-heartedly. [Lack of] Being was a show at Hatch Gallery Oakland and included installation and painting. It is a dialogue of shattered truths that destroyed the self. After this destruction the previous self is non-existent, and in it's place a state of non-being. It is a place where all one's notions, groundings, pieces of the heart and mind are floating in a nothingness. Time ceases to exist. Creation has yet to begin. It is after the end but before the beginning. it is vulnerability but possibility. It is the existential human condition; existence without essence: a loss-of-self while still inhabiting a confined temporal existence.
