Variations in Stillness — Artist Statement
Variations in Stillness began as an experiment with texture and the possibilities of working beyond paint alone. Created together, the two paintings place irregular, heavily textured fields within smooth, uninterrupted borders. Their surfaces resemble unfamiliar terrains or abstract maps—landscapes shaped by movement, pressure, and the passage of time.
As the joint compound dried, small cracks emerged in the texture. They were unplanned, but became an essential part of the works. Rather than imperfections to be corrected, they add character and authenticity, reminding us that not everything meaningful is intentional or carefully controlled.
Though the paintings share the same structure, materials, and origins, each has its own character. Together, they explore the beauty of variation, the quiet complexity beneath seemingly simple surfaces, and the unexpected ways that imperfection can give something its meaning.
