Artist Statement

 

In the work, a surface lends itself to the possibility of an imminent failure. A painting is brought to life through a figuring-out, accident-prone activity.

 

Autobiography and History gives the paint direction.

 

Through force becomes form. All is a chase, a pursuit for some kind of appearance.

 

My concern is in the making; the what if. To reduce is to hope for clarity. (Reduce! Reduce! Reduce!)

 

And

I will, eventually, walk away.
