These paintings developed from a series of still lifes -"leftovers" serving as environmental fetish symbols, akin to icons in an imaginary religion.

They function as metaphors for the transcendent religious experience of being in nature: whether working close to the ocean, playing, or simply experiencing the essence of being.
