This series of twelve paintings, Light Unworn, is organized in six pairs where seemingly contradictory remarks of double negatives are embedded into the paint itself, barely emerging into view: "IT IS NOT YOURS" and "IT IS NOT MINE, "IT IS NOT THIS" and "IT IS NOT THAT", IT IS KNOWABLE" and "IT IS NOT UNKNOWABLE", "IT IS NOT THINKABLE" and "IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE", "IT IS NOT VISIBLE" and "IT IS NOT INVISIBLE", "IT IS NOT MEASURABLE" and "IT IS NOT UNMEASURABLE."
