I’m currently in residence at the Byrdcliffe Artist Colony in Woodstock, NY, where I’m developing a new series of paintings grounded in my framework of Structural Omission.
In the first week, I’ve completed one painting and begun a second—this one already pushing the work in new directions. The omissions aren’t decorative or atmospheric. They’re structural, embedded into the logic of each piece.
This residency is giving me the time, space, and friction to push deeper into the conceptual terrain my work lives in:
How do we depict what’s known and unkowable?
What does it mean to create with visual voids?
When does omission become the architecture, not the absence?
I’ve also begun a series of interviews with fellow residents, collecting fragments and partial truths that will inform future paintings. These won’t become portraits. They’ll become constructed spaces that are emotional, fractured, and deliberate.
If all goes to plan, I’ll finish four paintings here. But the goal isn’t quantity. It’s depth. And the shift is already happening.
