basil is not trained in the representational arts, but deeply enjoys studio practice. an art studio is witness to a sense of life & death; expressing articulations of universal truth through an ineffably personal language. creations develop & transform with every additional mark; each layer embodying a moment in time. in many cases these moments are separated by days of lived experience, which inevitably weave their lessons into the process. engagement with this sphinxlike riddle becoming the matter at hand; one may only hope to emerge with work that another might relate to.
