With these two paintings, Enduring the Weight and Transporting the Stone, she was focused on the death of something precious to her. “Painting, however, is the opposite of death. You must be eminently present– you immerse yourself so deeply in its physical act that you lose all sense of time, all sense of space and, hopefully, all sense of self. In this attempt, I am constantly fighting the weight of thoughts and conversation in my head that frequently feel like tumbling stones.
