About The Artwork
Created originally for a fall show about ghosts and spirits, I was drawn to the idea of a durational performance and the possibility of achieving some hallucinogenic experience through extreme repetition. I focused on a personal mantra and repeatedly wrote and painted the phrase, "every journey begins with a single step" across a piece of plywood for 5 hours. The long painting time shows how simple things evolve their meaning over time. The natural wood absorbs the thin layers of paint and partially dictates the final aesthetic of this mantra when painted.

Michael Roller is an abstract artist based in Cincinnati, Ohio. With a background in industrial design, Roller approaches art using a creative process that is both structured and improvisational. Through layering acrylic paints, he creates abstract compositions inspired by digital culture—balancing control and spontaneity. Small rectangles, parallel lines, and intersecting curves are common motifs in his work, with each painting based on personal memories, artifacts, and emotions. The result is a body of work that explores the intersection of design and abstract art, with each painting offering a glimpse into his relationship with the world.
