We were talking about how different the paintings look in person versus on a screen. You said that that’s a pretty constant, consistent topic that people bring up when they’re talking to you about the work.
Yeah. When they come and see it, and they’ve seen the work on their phones or on their computer, through the press release or Instagram or however they’re getting connected with the work, and then they come to the opening, it’s recognizable, but they have a very different optical experience with it. You get to see a lot of the texture of it, of course, with the sand and the little pieces of granite, but then also the color. I want that. We experience art and culture of all sorts on screens—and I think that’s helpful and valuable to get work to people from anywhere around the world—but I also think it’s very desirable, as an artist, to make work that then is able to bring something else to the table when seen in person. Especially in the realm of painting.
