The “Shimmer” paintings begin with the notion that all living things—plants, animals and humans—are connected in an intricate mesh of being, yet each exists at the center of their own particular world. These simultaneous centers of lived experience swirl within and around us, piercing, enveloping, and permeating with or without our notice. Each painting is an imaginary map of exchange, a playful and hopeful record of our entanglement with other beings and each other.
