Statement -2012-2013 Paintings
I
seek to surprise myself, both in the decisions made and their final resting
place. The process is the definitive core of this work; not seeking a
predictable and known road. I enjoy sinking my teeth into diverse subject
matter to spur my imagination. The result represents a playful yet strategic
undertaking. The method involves sifting through my mental art history Rolodex,
notations, crude sketches and collage elements to join and arrive at a place that
is unexpectedly cohesive. They are both reverent and irreverent in regards to
the two dimensional vocabulary and it’s history. I approach the paintings as
distilling vessels. My pleasure is found there and I hope that this translates
to the viewer as well.
Medium
