Inspoken Painting

I think of the geometric compartments in my paintings like "windows." The windows offer many small glimpses into my mind, much like how I process my day through many, many small pieces of incoming visual information. The individual oil paintings are created without brushes, and I manipulate the paint by both building it up thickly, and by scraping it away so that it is transparent. I leave gaps between sections of paint where lines or shapes of white gesso shows through as a physical boundaries between sections -- both a conceptual and visual chasm. The painting rows are arranged sequentially like a comic book strip, and offer a type of abstract narrative or diary of my day. This is painted on a piece of heavy-weight watercolor paper with a deckle edge on one side. Dimensions represent the paper size.
