I build large-scale color field paintings using glitter. I appreciate glitter both for its vibrancy, and for its refusal to stick to the plan. This material requires the slow, methodical building of layers creating a dense, thick field. Exploring a material that refuses to be entirely controlled creates unexpected moments of intensity and texture. The particular shimmer and vibrancy responds to the passage of light, as well as the path of the viewer.
