Accidental Encounters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fascinated by the idea of creating still lifes that are \u201cnot so still,\u201d I paint objects flying, floating and falling, realistic objects that defy reality and gravity. Even when the objects are simply sitting still, they take on a life of their own, spontaneously imbued with a surreal feeling. Light effects, distortions and repetition in reflections allow me to create worlds within worlds. Mirrored surfaces with their curved distortions invite us to enter into a world that is strange yet familiar. Within the reflections, portraits or self-portraits are often revealed. Impressions, images and objects I have collected appear in Accidental Encounters<\/em>, evoking stories and memories that are personal yet universal, real yet surreal, suggesting other times and places. Toys represent joy and abandon, creating an \u201caccidental encounter\u201d between childhood and maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n
