Don't think I'm crazy but I know I'm not sane is how I feel it is to be alive in the year 2026.   As I have to work and find time outside of that to paint, I feel that these paintings are more like songs and my yearly exhibition, an album reflecting this period of my life.  My 1|0 exhibition in 2025, was where I first began to use my thumbprint to make a mark but in this album I have removed brushes and kitchen scours, to just have just the thumbprint. I believe even more than last year that these paintings can be thought of as messages to our future selves; a marker at the start of the digital age that our ability to create wondrous beautiful objects has always laid outside of our technology. The thumb is also a universal implement, something we all share. Yet the pattern of our thumbprint is unique to each one of us.

I ask that you stand close to the painting if you view them.  You may find , as you take in the detail that it becomes a meditative process that allows thoughts to rise from within, a sort of mirror into oneself.
