This painting references the mythological story of the phoenix rising from the ashes. It is about the effects of time and the cyclical nature of life. Time works on matter; building up or wearing away its surfaces. The folds, mounds, textures and marks made on natural surfaces reflect the communication being made by opposing materials. In Rising, time is the executor of memory. It reminds us of the many small moments of interaction that build to create both complex physical forms and mental states.
