Sunday
$600
Date: 02/07/2004
A dog walks down an empty street on a Sunday afternoon in wartime China: Dilapidated buildings, an oppressive bright sun, and lots of dust. Under the glare and the heat, the dog seems a mere shadow.

Stopover
$850
Date: 08/24/2007
A street scene from downtown Hong Kong during a stopover: A figure lying still in the center of flux, the glare of lights, the blur of figures passing by, the textures of the city. For this work and for a series of monochrome paintings, I deliberately eschewed color to focus on light and dark shapes and on movement.

Atrocity
$550
Date: 08/12/2007
This piece was made using computer-created text on acetate and a slide projector to project the text onto canvas. Using a projector gives the painting an accidental machine-like quality, and contrasts strongly with the expressiveness of calligraphy, especially Japanese calligraphy paintings.

Sunday II
$2500
Date: 08/26/2008
A historical painting based on a diary account from the Sino-Japanese war. Two partisans, a man and woman, are captured. The man is executed and the woman then offers herself up for death. The viewer stands in the place of the executioner.
This work is concerned with telling the narrative, but also with the realistic perspective and depth of the scene. The large-scale painting is monochrome and on two canvases (diptych).
