Artist Statement

These videos compare, through montage, moments during the process of painting and growing a River Bushwillow. Painting from sight takes time. It is a system of responding to physical or environmental changes for the sake of record and representation. We encounter images and most media through a secondary display, a documentation of tangible and practical information through book or screen. The videos offer access to moments from the physical process that are lost during the traditional abstraction of painting an object onto a two dimensional surface. Viewing a video is a gestalt experience of not only time and process, but resolution and definition.
