Bodies of Water

Allen W Clowes Gallery

Bodies of Water explores the tension between solitude and belonging through paintings inspired by Lake Michigan and the Kalamazoo River. Drawing on the navigational phrase “Red Right Return,” the series reflects on departure, connection, and the pull of returning home. Through translucent layers of oil paint, figure, water, light, and atmosphere dissolve into dreamlike forms, evoking memory, sensation, and change.
