Regulation Series: Building Internal/External Constraint
Alongside my moon paintings, this series forms the structural core of my practice. These pieces emerge from a methodical process of mark-making that translates raw, intense emotional energy into external structure. This is the architecture of regulation: a journey that moves feeling from internal pressure to the clarity of the canvas.
Where the Full Moon Over Water series represents structural harmony, these works chart the active movement of the Sovereign Witness: the intersection of presence, agency, and clarity, It is the state of being that emerges when we move beyond survival patterns and step into quiet authority. In my most recent large-scale paintings in blue and yellow, the process has evolved into a deep, mindful dialogue between my inner landscape and the physical properties of the paint. I no longer just trace energy; I respond to the weight of the color and the rhythm of the marks as they appear.
Guided by the blue wisdom of calm inquiry and the yellow of sovereign strength, I navigate themes ranging from the celestial to the deeply personal. Through this intentional constraint, the initial feeling is not merely recorded—it is transformed. The result is a resolution of resilience, where the fluidity of emotion meets the enduring strength of form.
