| The waters edge is a place where the solid realities of muck and mud mingle with the ethereal forms of reflected clouds, where the rotting of old plants brings forth new life, where the fluidity of water is held firm by linear plants. I go to the swamp not to be kind to mosquitoes but to look for the place where these contradictions coexist, where order and disorder meet. When I look closely at the waters edge, an order of light, color and structure seems to emerge. I weave together in paint this emerging order. |
