Cities
"Certain moments in certain places, apparently insignificant, imprint themselves on the memory with improbable vividness and clarity..."
-John Banville, from "Time Pieces: A Memoir of Dublin" (Knopf, 2018)Reimagined memories of city landscapes emerge, as viewed from great heights and ground level, on sunlit sidewalks and through underground passages. The grit of cities, their well-worn layers of history and frenetic pace coalesce into a bedazzling vibrancy that provides endless inspiration. From the distant solitude of the studio, new visions of the city’s sublime chaos and order take shape on paper and canvas.
