Pointillist: From 2005 to 2006, this large-scale series began in Oaxaca, Mexico. The first painting was inspired by the small dots you see when you close your eyes while resting them under the scorching June sunshine in Puerto Escondido. The second painting and third paintings were made in our apartment/studio that we rented in downtown Oaxaca in the heat of the summer of 2005. The fourth panting was made in NYC, but reflected memories of a visit to a friend’s backyard in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. The 5th, 6th, and 7th paintings reflected my re-integration from observer of nature to the interiors of the body and mind.
