About The Artwork

Requires framing to be properly displayed. What/who inspired the work? A photo of graffitti by Aaron Siskind What do you hope its viewers will feel/think?Amused. I'm being as simple as I can. Sometimes that comes across as dubious or jejune but I'm actually quite serious about emptying out the process to clear a reception for something primal to occur. Childlike austerity speaking the preverbal language of the psyche. This is Late Picasso to me. This is Dana Schutz and Louise Bourgeois. This is Satie or Morton Feldman or John Cage to me. Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style?This oil on a gessoed watercolor block. I like painting on the blocks because they make paper rigid enough to stand on an easel so I can attack the surface as I would a canvas. Drawing then becomes painting in my physical perception and relationship to the receptive ground.
