White enamel and a little chrome glimmer from the dumpster. Lumber scrap balances in tentative stacks by the curb. Bent sheet metal fractures color across asphalt shingles and ceramic tile. Cardboard softens in the humidity. These discarded fragments — once hidden within walls, beneath floors, behind fixtures — surface, briefly untethered from their purpose. On the grey felt of my table, they become part image, part evidence. I consider what holds a house together, what breaks down, and who tends to the aftermath.
This collection of paintings is made in celebration of the bounty that plants give us. Each piece of fruit is a gift that helps to nourish and sustain us. When we care for the plants they in turn care for us. This idea is inspired by the book, "The Botany of Desire," that explores the ways in which plants and humans have a symbiotic relationship.
