Deeply influenced by existential thought and psychology, I relate my practice to a meditation on being in the world. I source material from my immediate surroundings to better understand my relationship to time and place. I dig sandstone from the hillside and paint it on the wall in a circular form with water. The painting acquires new rings over the course of several days, an allusion to time, growth and materiality. As a meditation on the cyclical nature of life itself, the sandstone mandala draws the viewer into the physicality of the present moment before it is eventually chipped from the wall and returned to the earth.
