‘Rearranging The Furniture‘ is a collection of original paintings that represent reconstruction: the realignment of fragments of life that no longer fit to create something new and layered.

A poem by the artist:

Moving in and moving out

Like breath or tides or radio signals

Ordering packing tape and boxes

Find a new apartment

Rearrange the furniture

Time bends back on itself,

Every year a winter and spring,

part of a circle’s infinite curve

We change our habits, our routines, our memories,

anything to walk through untouched snow.

Create DNA with the past peeking through

Nothing new, nothing new

And yet what we see for the first time appears to be.

I layer stripes, one of my most familiar motifs, on top of each other.

This art is simply about wishing to build something different,

with the understanding that nothing new exists.

And yet we try. We move, we rearrange the furniture.
