Another Message Painting

The subject of wireless communications technology fascinated me. I imagine the billions of daily transmissions as various shapes, sizes and speeds making a crowd of busy, mind-boggling patterns in every possible layer of global air space. Still there is clarity. My approach to painting is complex, very similar to the subject. I use a combination of various media (watercolor, stain, limestone, acrylic and rice paper) to give me a large range of expression with what appears as random results. The originality of this combination of media rises in spontaneous areas of rhythm and movement on a three dimensional surface. I use alternative tools and many times I build implements in order to move the paint uniquely. The contrast of the rice paper to the heavily built acrylics suggests the struggle between the natural and the man made worlds.
