PAINTING
The process of painting for me is about transcendence. I believe the painting itself is the medium between us and the realm of Beauty.
This process for me is a spontaneous, induced, gestured, and energized dance. It is ceremonial. A symbiotic relationship of reciprocity happens between me and the piece. I initiate the creation of the painting. I give to it birth. The work then helps to guide me as a give and take happens. I believe to have an immaculate and strong painting; it has to have a history. The painting has to have a birth/death/rebirth. I achieve this by purposefully over-working the painting. There is a desire to destroy it, to change the piece somewhere in the cycle of its creation. I am then forced to pull the piece back, to resurrect it. The painting is physically brought back from the ashes like the Phoenix.
