Movement slows in the Wading for You series. Water rises. Time stretches. Attention wanders. These paintings and drawings dwell in uncertainty. Figures pause, search, and endure without direction. Beckett’s line, “You must go on. I can’t go on. I’ll go on,” moves through the work as something felt rather than told, an internal pressure that persists without resolution. The images hold that pressure open, allowing doubt, persistence, and quiet resolve to exist together.
