Abstract:
I have spent a large portion of my time relying on the inanimate to provide me with things I could not source from the people around me, namely permanence, and the associated reliability and security. As objects become trustworthy, the 'inobject', memories, feelings, etc., become untrustworthy. By translating the aforementioned into physical paintings, they become real for me. Each painting in ‘the promise of presage’ holds a moment, and with it, the promise of its truthfulness.
