Artist Statement: |

I rely on "the luck of the draw." I pile acrylic paint on the paper or canvas and push the paint across the surface with a cardboard edge. The resulting shapes are formed by the pressure of the cardboard, or by the direction the cardboard takes. I choose the colors, but the contours and blendings that occur are always a surprise to me. On a few pieces, recognizable shapes are rendered onto the painted surface. Sometimes found paper or former digitized prints are torn and glued to the surface. Sometimes I stamp the surface. These items are not immediately seen, as I prefer a strong surge of shape on the wall. I call this group of work the "Nomads" because I can never predict their destination. |
