Night Exchange
Painting on paper has a satisfying feeling. There is an immediacy in the process that invites imagination and play. Placing the tape on the border and setting up a boundary for the images to appear feels like casting a circle and calling in the corners to support. It is preparing a space for the energy to become seen. As soon as I choose a color, the story and the characters begin to make themselves known. These pieces are magical in their process of creation, a sense that comes through in the final image.

Driving back to Memphis from a trip to New Orleans, a vision kept appearing in my mind’s eye. It was a figure standing on a turtle, surrounded by rabbits. Rabbits come up a lot in my images and I often sense them as time travelers, able to hop dimensions and realities.
When I sat down to create this painting, I began with the long figure and the turtle. Then, everything else appeared during the process. Images emerge, come to the forefront, and then return to the background. Figures and characters that want to take part in the exchange appear. Under the cover of night many things are exchanged and we move from one day to the next. This painting felt like a shift from one reality or timeline to another.
