Syncope My work explores threshold states in which awareness loosens—between control and surrender, presence and absence. Drawing on experiences of syncope, anesthesia, and meditation, I consider moments when perception is interrupted or thinned, and how the self persists—or dissolves—within those shifts. Circles, traditionally associated with wholeness and continuity, structure this field. In these hand-painted spheres, repetition suggests stability, while subtle variations—overlay, erasure, and accumulation—introduce quiet instability. The forms hover between coherence and dissolution, oscillating between emergence and disappearance without fully resolving. A palette of muted indigos, steel blues, hazy blue-grays, mother-of-pearl whites, iridescent silver, and granite tones extends this inquiry. Muddied yet luminous, the colors evoke depth, distance, and suspension while resisting fixed definition. Chalky matte passages absorb and soften light, creating areas of perceptual quiet, while pearlescent and metallic surfaces catch and release it, producing subtle shifts in depth and luminosity. The paintings remain responsive to their environment, their appearance altered by light, movement, and duration. What emerges is a field of continuous variation, where perception holds, falters, and resumes. The viewer is invited to inhabit that threshold—to linger in a space where presence and absence, clarity and obscurity, remain in quiet negotiation.
