Clayfellow
Clayfellow (2008-ongoing) oil on canvas, linen, board, paper, or wood
Clayfellow is a series of paintings of the place between human and spirit—a threshold where form meets the formless, where the weight of the physical gives way to something just beyond reach. It’s the place we inhabit, suspended between what holds us here and what pulls us elsewhere, a quiet negotiation between the material and the immaterial.
The series was born from a storm reflected in the face of a pond, where blooms rising from beneath tangled with the restless churn of clouds, wind, and rain above. The surface dissolved, and with it, the boundary between what was rooted below and what drifted above. That’s where Clayfellow lives—in the thin, luminous seam where the seen and unseen fold into each other.
