Amnesia (34” x 50”x 1.5” acrylic on canvas 2012) is part of my ongoing abstract series, Uncovering—a body of work that emerges from the depths of altered consciousness. My approach to painting is raw, intuitive, and automatic, a way of processing the ungraspable. Like the modernists who turned inward for truth, I paint to translate the ineffable shifting landscapes of the mind.

Since my experience with altered states in 2010, abstraction has become both a refuge and a mirror. This state of being bends time warping memory, dissolving the present, stretching the future into something boundless. During these altered states, the past resurfaces in fragments, distorted and reassembled like a dream. The present becomes a surrealist’s playground, hyper-real and slipping through my fingers. The future unspooling endlessly, unburdened by doubt or limitation.

Amnesia is a portal one that invites the viewer to step into the unknown, to feel the undercurrents of the subconscious, to glimpse the psyche’s extraordinary power to create, destroy, and reinvent reality itself.
