always the need to work. hands make head happy when working. creating art is translating subjective unconscious onto physical planes. i started off as a poet and will always be a poet... the greatness being able to do so is being able to say the most in the least possible space consumed. the precision is pure and the abstraction, limitless. then the spontaneity of photography hooked me. now, it is both that spontaneity of photography and the observed time-process of painting that keeps me. there's a dadaist introduction with little else beside the paint itself determining authenticity, it allows itself to become itself without me interupting with "thought" that has came from elsewhere, hence, has been done before! ...then,, more often than not, i allow the ego to step inside and satisfy conscious demands driven by obsessive preconceived beliefs of form, color etc. the actual editing process from here can be one mark or an entire surface wash. but, in the end, what really matters is that there are no recognizable ends. the essence ought be in the work and the re-work. watching changes as they occur with strokes taken back or movement forced over. neighboring marks integrate and fizz within a whole. and just like these paintings, whether chaotic or calm, life too, is justly examplified in uncertainty and inevitable change. |
