Work > this underlying structure

The title of this body of work, this underlying structure, refers to the possibility of an invisible scaffolding that holds up the universe — an intangible essence existing beneath the more familiar structures of the visible world. The paintings play with the fact that the Hebrew word for 'the Place,' ha-Makom, is also used as a name for God. In my paintings, "here" can be a specific, known physical place, or it can be an infinite conceptual space—a spiritual realm— an underlying structure of our world.
