Since March of 2020, my world changed quite significantly. Primarily because of the COVID 19 virus, I moved from my studio in Easthampton, MA to a home studio where I live in a small hamlet called Wyben, in Western MA. While adjusting to this change my father who is ninety-four years old, needed to hospitalized. Because of COVID, we were unable to be with him in the hospital, which was excruciating for me, for him, and for my siblings.

Through this time coping with these circumstances, I realized moments are not always perceived in the same way. I discovered there are times when moments seem to slow down and passage the of time becomes palpable. In this small series of paintings, I have explored this phenomenon. A listless, dreamless night, times waiting for news of a sick loved one, or just in the state of waiting, and my Dad sitting on the porch to fill his idle days, all exemplify this state of elongated moments.
