PRIVATE ISLAND
(A SERIES)
2019
During working trips to
Oahu over the past dozen or so years, especially during model
shoots with my partner and fellow artist, Jack Balas, I find
myself entering what feels like a private space. It's as
if we've been transported offshore, the group of us, to a secret,
uninhabited island. The outside world is suspended, and
we're temporarily marooned in the pristine setting, without phone
or Internet service, released from the demands of time, schedules,
and even to a degree language. Another reality emerges
from beyond the conceptual, a wordless realm that feels completely
innocent. It is this reality I have attempted to capture
in paint.
