Ed Smiley, Paintings 2014
Paintings in 2014.
Statement:
I explore the interconnectedness of things. And I believe that everything is connected.
I work with the collisions between forms made in paint and and forms made with distorted and scanned images of fabric, maps, and computer generated fractals embedded using direct acrylic transfer.
I believe in things that can't easily be put into words.
I believe in an art that cannot be made into images of known things that can easily be put into words.
I believe in the elusive, the poetic, in ecstasy and joy.
