I have been reflecting upon the Japanese concept of Ma, described as a pause in time, an interval, or emptiness in space.

In this series of monotypes, I have been exploring the negative space. The process unravels like a story written in reverse; I cover the surface with paint to take it away.

Sculpting the void, The act of uncovering is a communion with the silence between breaths, the stillness between thoughts, and the potency of pause.
