ABOUT THE PAINTING:

EMERGENT: Acrylic on canvas, 2 x 4 FT.

Emergent means “in the process of coming into being or becoming prominent.” In a burst of color, a big bang, a pulse from nothingness, we explode into being. There are no moments as powerful as birth and many moments that are allegorical to it. This is exemplary to those very moments. It’s messy. It’s volatile. It’s beautiful. It’s rough around the edges. It peals us apart and pulls us together. It’s the ultimate sublime. We emerge.

Into what? Into where? We don’t know until we get there. And, at times, we may not even know were “there-there” is until we long since pass it.

This piece is an attempt at expressing that moment of becoming, the tipping point with which the momentum towards a direction becomes the direction. It’s dynamic. It’s bold. It’s rough and peeling away. It’s EMERGENT.
