Lost IN L.A.
Lost in L.A. comes from the Hollywood Rockefeller knew as a young man: pink stucco, hot red tile, palm trees stood against an unbothered sky. The pool runs through the series as both refuge and void, a private architecture, cool and contained, that somehow also holds the day’s distance. The wall sits too high. The water lies too still. The figure across the courtyard is too far to call.
This is a Los Angeles of proximity without contact, access without intimacy, a city that keeps its promises for someone else. Its surfaces do most of the talking: wall, water and glass seal as often as they reflect. Each painting holds the particular fact of the place: how close you can be to someone, but still not touch.

WHO WE ONCE WERE
The faces in this series are caught mid-change, becoming someone they haven’t finished being. Features are built up in heavy oil and then half-smeared, one side worked against a different palette, or painted over until the earlier version can’t be recovered, only sensed under the surface. The paint carries the record: every self this person has been is still down there, buried a layer deep.
The series looks two ways at once. It looks backward, at the selves memory keeps revising, and forward, at the selves we build to be seen, the face assembled for the world rather than the one underneath. Between them sits the real subject: identity not as a fixed thing but as a working surface, scraped back and remade, never quite set.
