About The Artwork

This painting is a large scale work on paper. It is raw; the paint is contaminated with various other materials, most prominently fur, and glitter. In places; the paint is applied very thickly, in others, the application has a flat and graphic quality. This hybridization of styles and varying speeds of application allowed me to contemplate through material the nature of the sacred and profane, the beautiful and the grotesque. Language, from a repository of personal poetics, emerges and blurs; legibility fades in and out, and as it does, the work can exist simultaneously as sign and image with being exactly either.

I believe that painting, especially now, demands bravery. If I didn't have skin in the game, I wouldn't need to make the work. For me, painting is the most honest form of thinking. Even as I reach the end of a painting, it remains an open form. The work only seems to belong to me, when it actually always already belonged to the world. My consciousness is a composite of memory, a collage of outside influences, and as I put that in the work, I find that the world emerges again, slightly reconfigured, through my hands. When I paint, I gain radical access to my own physical, emotional, and intellectual permeability. I embrace with exuberance the impossibility of doing anything untouched by history, as that creates the freedom to explore the multiplicity of meaning within painterly gesture itself. Mark-making is a code of signs, complete with its own idioms.The permeability of human consciousness is essential to the work because it creates a space for the historically distinct models of image-making and narrative I use to echo off one another. In the space of the painting, I aim to create a resonance within the consciousness of the viewer that breaks the boundaries of the object itself.
