About the Artwork: 4AM captures that liminal hour when darkness begins its subtle shift toward dawn – a time of both profound stillness and quiet anticipation. At 64x96”, the painting's scale creates an immersive experience, inviting viewers to lose themselves in its textural complexity.

The predominantly blue-white palette, with its subtle variations and occasional contrasting marks, evokes the quality of pre-dawn light – how it simultaneously obscures detail while revealing new ways of seeing familiar forms. This tension between clarity and mystery reflects the unique consciousness of early morning hours, when our perception often exists in a space between dreaming and wakefulness.

Through multiple layers of paint application – sometimes thick and gestural, other times thin and translucent – I've built a surface that rewards both distant viewing and intimate inspection. From across a room, the composition reads as a unified field of atmospheric light; up close, it reveals countless individual decisions and moments of interaction between materials.

The vertical format and subtle gradient create a gentle gravitational pull, drawing the eye from lighter to darker tones much as consciousness moves from sleep to wakefulness. In this way, 4AM becomes not just a visual experience but a temporal one, inviting viewers to inhabit that threshold space between night and day, between unconscious and conscious thought.
