About my work
My inspiration when making a painting is in the process itself. I see the painting as the outcome of a performance—one in which I’m acting within opposing attitudes of freedom and discipline and changing my pace from fast to slow mark-making. The end result is an ambiguous surface where energetic and calm actions push and pull against one another.
I use poured paint in the initial layer, manipulating it with squeegees and tilting the canvas to encourage the direction of flow, but allowing accident to reign. I then return to the canvas with thick oil paint and create blocks of pattern or texture that enclose the shape, acting both as background and foreground, and continuing around the edges of the stretcher.
The painting is at once a solid 3-dimensional object and a fluid, moving pictorial space.
