Smokographix #33 Painting

Carbon, as we know, is what all matter, living or otherwise is made of. Including us. I thought that there may be a new way of looking at this much maligned, but primal substance. Carbon occupies a crucial place at the confluence of life and death, creation and destruction. These paintings are made with fire and the smoke generated by it. I wanted to set the fluidity of smoke against a rigid grid which let to some exciting interactions. It gave the unbridled nomadic spirit of smoke a certain structure and a graphic formality. I think the resulting forms are surprising and evocative.
