Fan Shaped Works

These paintings and collages are all some what fan shape. They grew out of a practice i had of mixing my paint in paper coffee cups: When working in my studio I often mix my paint in paper cups and over the years I made a habit of putting these cups aside when I noticed an interesting arrangement or pattern of color and shoes in them. Eventually I began to split open the cups to see the patterns more easily. This resulted in a fan-like shape and became the jumping of point for my Fa Shaped series of paintings and collages. I slap began to frame some of the opened paper cups so you could see the coffee shop logo on one side and the accidental study on the other.
