“I think of the paintings as accumulations of moments rather than records of a single one. They are built, covered, scraped back and returned to. A decision made one night can disappear the next morning. Something removed can become as important as something added. I leave the studio, go upstairs, come back down and see the painting differently. The interruption becomes part of its duration.
There are other crossings between the two spaces. Dirt and unswept leaves find their way into the studio; little pieces of dried paint inevitably find their way upstairs. Around the house are stairs, corners, nooks, passages of light, plants that need tending and paths worn through repetition. None of these things are subjects for the paintings, but they belong to the conditions in which the work has been made.
Perhaps that exchange is what has interested me most while making this body of work. The studio enters the house and the house enters the studio. Painting happens somewhere. It takes time, and that time is lived alongside everything else.”
Kyle Murrell, 2026
