Extras and Oh Nos Painting

This is a highly layered abstract painting in acrylic, marker, and spray dye on canvas. I've been exploring pattern in my work recently, and how a repeated simple way of making a mark can lead to larger structural forms in a composition. Suddenly it becomes meaningful if something is missing. A member of a group can be defined by how it is different from its neighbors. A larger framework can be implied by the repetition of a few key elements. In this painting I have worked two modes of pattern making into the composition alongside some of my other usual modes of mark making including scribbling with markers and pouring paint directly onto the canvas. The two forms of patterns are the trellis and the vine. The trellis pattern is composed of members of a grid which exist on a shared euclidean plane, which warps and bends in places. The vine pattern is leaves growing out of leaves to form branching fractal patterns. Both exist in this painting in different scales and different media. I find it easy to get lost in this painting. There's a lot of space in there to wander around in.
