‘I Exist In You : Triptych’
Now showing at Sonderbar in Woodstock, NY over the Summer ‘25 is a three piece collection of paintings entitled ‘I Exist In You : Triptych’.
Each piece, painted on 4ft x 7ft raw linen and hand sewn by myself, is to be shown one at a time on their own, each as a solo work, inviting the viewer to slow down the experience of the triptych and the stories within them. Each piece has a musical reference within their titles to musical movements that I was hearing and working with while painting.
The change over of each piece is also, beautifully at the whim of the Sonderbar owner, Corinna Geib, who will change each piece out for the next when she feels it is time, giving the entire experience a further instinctual and random element that I love. Even I don’t know when she might change them. So it is an adventure for me as well.
These pieces were a year in the making. Slow, and considered, sometimes explosive and sudden. Painted expressly for Corinna who showed the utmost patience and faith in them and me while she waited to see them finished. There is a lot of personal exploration in them. And the study of the law of three in my life. It’s repeated presence.
