我創(chuàng)作靜物畫來表現(xiàn)生命的轉瞬即逝

What I love most about painting is observing a subject so intensely that everyday associations melt away and it becomes something unfamiliar—like repeating a word over and over until it loses meaning and becomes just a sound. The experience of painting common subjects reveals just how unknowable they truly are. The more I look, the more mysterious the world becomes: we are on an alien world enveloped by other life.

關于繪畫，我最喜歡的是如此強烈地觀察一個主題，以至于日常的聯(lián)想都消失了，它變成了不熟悉的東西——就像一遍又一遍地重復一個詞，直到它失去了意義，變成了一個聲音。繪畫普通主題的經(jīng)歷揭示了它們是多么的不可知。我越看，這個世界就變得越神秘:我們是在一個被其他生命包圍的外星世界。

I think of my paintings as part of the Vanitas tradition, a genre meant to remind viewers of the fleeting nature of life, wealth, relationships, and understanding. That may sound maudlin, but the acknowledgment of impermanence allows me to more richly appreciate my present experience.

我認為我的繪畫是虛空傳統(tǒng)的一部分，一種意在提醒觀者生命、財富、關系和理解的轉瞬即逝的本質的流派。這聽起來可能有些傷感，但對無常的承認讓我更能體會到目前的經(jīng)歷。
