The following text is by the artist on the series ‘Pale Green,’ first developed as a site specific work for the Sant’Andrea de Scaphis in 2022 and later exhibited at Kunsthalle Zurich in 2023.

'Pale Green was composed of 24 individual oil paintings on uncradled hard maple panels of varying lengths, measuring from 1 inch to 8 feet. Together the paintings formed a 2 inch high, green line that wrapped around the interior of the former oratory. Varying in imagery, the predominant subjects were human skulls, which were stretched and distorted to fit into the dimensions of each panel. Inspired to stretch the human skull into varying shapes of off-cut lumber, it’s also a ‘haha’ about Hans Holbein’s famous anamorphic skull in his painting The Ambassadors– How do I name such a work? Waking up one morning in Hong Kong, light cast through an autumn shower falling across the white sheets of my bed and across the pages of my book was a pale green. Still only half-awake, I jotted the two words down on a piece of paper and stuffed it into my book to later remind myself of the moment. Pale green was the color of the air I breathed. I felt it expand within me and become me. Perhaps I could have given it a more descriptive name like ‘Green Line’ or ‘Green Horizon’ but Pale Green said something else. I wanted a name that could give description without taking away the possibilities for meaning. Pale as the pale ghost (a more common use for the word). But also, Pale as a boundary.'
