Collection: The Excavation Series

The Excavation Series

Excavation is a completed body of work comprising three paintings: Presence, Excavation, and What Remains.

Rather than depicting a single narrative, the series traces a progression — from awareness, through saturation, into stillness. Each work occupies a distinct position within that arc, and together they form a closed system.

The series begins with orientation. Presence establishes the conditions of consciousness, time, and alignment — the moment where awareness becomes visible. It moves into density with Excavation, where symbols, language, systems, and accumulated meaning converge and strain against one another. The final work, What Remains, withdraws from image and explanation entirely, leaving only the residual field shaped by everything that came before.

Across the series, marks are built, disturbed, and partially erased. Meaning appears, accumulates, and reaches its limit. What persists is not resolution, but coherence — a sense of stability that does not rely on explanation.

Excavation is not concerned with uncovering answers. It records the conditions under which meaning is sought, accumulated, and eventually released.

This series is complete. No further works will be added.
