Gathered Forms grew out of my long-standing interest in still life and the poetry of home, how ordinary objects can carry memory, history, and emotion. I’m drawn to simple things : beautiful shapes of pottery, earthenware vessels and bowls. These objects aren’t just formal elements for me; they feel familiar, personal, and quietly expressive. My forms come from a history of drawn study, each serves as a celebration of everyday objects, passed down or collected over time. I think of them as carriers of memory, each holding a subtle narrative shaped by use and craft. When brought together, they begin to suggest a broader story, one rooted in domestic life, shared cultures, and intersecting histories. The paintings develop through a loose, intuitive process. I combine fluid spontaneous brushwork with oil stick and painted paper collage, allowing the surfaces to build slowly and remain active. Forms flatten and shift across the picture plane, sometimes breaking into geometric fragments, a slight touch of Cubism, while shifting between representation and abstraction. These pieces are meant to evoke the warmth of a kitchen corner, a family table, or a terrace caught in late afternoon light. The still life form reminds us of the potency of everyday objects. Each piece serves as a link between poetry and place.
