Not a Moment Longer explores the point at which a painting, and perhaps a decision, has said enough. Soft washes of blush, aqua, taupe and muted green drift across the surface, interrupted by a small number of darker, more deliberate gestures. Marks emerge, dissolve, and trail away, leaving much of the composition open and unresolved. The work grew from an interest in restraint; how little is necessary to create tension, movement and a sense of completion. Rather than filling the quiet spaces, I allowed them to remain active, trusting what was already present instead of continuing to explain it.

The title carries a similar tension. Not a Moment Longer can suggest impatience, certainty, release, or simply the recognition that something has reached its natural end. The painting leaves that meaning open, asking when enough becomes enough, and what happens when we choose to stop.
