Reflecting the desire to express my experience of Jerusalem while being confronted with the anxiety of representation. I ask myself: how do I approach representation of something that is, so sacred so emotional, that it cannot named. These paintings piece together moments of uncertainty and oneness. Being in a territory of their own; the in-between space is given matter. A memento of those two weeks, acting as an artifact of my thoughts and sensitivity. By consciously denying representation I am moving towards the abstract, the unknowable. The grid pattern aims to distort itself while acting as a coping mechanism amidst the paradoxical and contentious narratives that inhabit this holy place. They are created to respect the honesty, warmth and generous spirit of those whose paths I crossed
