on may 4, 2006, a fire tore through the second floor of my home and studio, destroying a large, cherished collection of art that included some of my own original work. what seemed an unrecoverable loss became a three-year photographic journey to record the experience and to reflect on life's impermanence.

...DeLap carves wall hung surfaces to move gradually inward and outward, but paints strictly rectilinear shapes on them, inverting the ideas that the frame is square and the image is free form. Hard edged rectangles painted in acrylic interact with areas of canvas that have been worked to curl or rise ever so slightly. The goal is to get us to think about space and dimension both as art process and as real experience.
