The River 3 (Harbor Lights)

Rendered in a restrained spectrum of charcoals and chalky whites, this work conjures a coastal settlement reduced to its essential geometry—gable shapes, fractured facades, and sail-like triangles hovering between presence and erasure. The composition toggles between solidity and reflection, as dense blocks of pigment press forward while scraped passages and watery smears dissolve into a tidal mirror, suggesting memory’s unstable architecture. Light is not depicted so much as excavated from the surface, making the scene feel like a palimpsest where habitation, weather, and time repeatedly repaint the same shoreline. The result is a quiet drama of endurance: a place held together by rhythm and repetition even as it continually slips back into abstraction.
