"Potentia" exhibition at 45 downstairs

In September I held a solo exhibition of my recent paintings at 45 downstairs in the city. The show was called "Potentia" and included a body of work spanning 2 years of studio time.  Here are a few snaps from the show and a small part of the artist statement.

“It is clear that of those things that seem to be substances, most are potentialities: the parts of animals (for none of them is separated; when separated all of them are like matter) and earth and fire and air; for none of these are one, but they are like a heap until they are concocted and some one thing comes out of them"

Aristotle ,Metaphysics Z (1040b5-10)

The works in this series depict imagined spaces of ongoing negotiation and exchange, bristling with the energies of transformation, impermanence and renewal.
