Expanded Monochromes articulates a return to the fundamental conditions of painting—an exploration of practice freed, as much as possible, from the pressures of production, obligation, and social expectation. The series reflects a desire to engage with painting outside of imposed economies of time, labor, and meaning, approaching the medium as a space of sustained attention and open-ended inquiry.

Working within the reduced language of monochrome, these paintings expand through process rather than image, emphasizing duration, material presence, and subtle transformation. They propose a mode of making that resists resolution, privileging continuity over completion.
