Paul Majek’s work is about ancestral shadow figures in liminal spaces before my time and in the present moment. Staining and drawing on wood allows for a repetitive layering, rendering the surface soft and easy to enter. The process is like creating windows into the subconscious: a fluidity is introduced around the figures, embodying my mind and exploring landscapes of memory, generational dialogue, and spirituality. The marks made with charcoal remain visible and are as important as the painted surfaces.
