     Since ancient times the threshold has been a motif in ritual, mythology and tradition.
In my painting I am interested in using idea of a threshold and archetypes associated with it as a visual device. A threshold creates an entrance through the surface into pictoral space. It is a metaphor for art: it draws us in and takes us to a different place
     Liminal comes from the Latin word limen, meaning threshold. It refers to an in between state. When a threshold is crossed, at some point you are in a liminal place, neither here nor there. This painting inspired by the deep blues at dusk. Twilight is a liminal time: the hour between day and night, neither day or night, but somewhere in between.
