About The Artwork
I found the most interesting parts in a typewriter to be the keys inside the machine. I wondered about all the artists who used typewriters in movies, paintings, drawings, sculpture, print-making, ceramics or performance. I found no other artist willing to use the shapes of those keys to create art or try to memorialize those ingenious but largely redundant parts. This shaped painting also has V shaped gouges that are contained in the shape. It was further painted turning it into deconstructive reading painting dealing with novelty and absence.

GOOGLE LINK TO FLICKR ALBUMS: https://www.flickr.com/photos/188681981@N03/albums//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I've described my work as deconstructivist painting after reading Jacques Derrida's book The Truth in Painting (1987). Those ideas persuaded me to attend the University of Victoria where I earned my BFA (Hons) by 1992. The target was to develop a symbolic metalanguage to facilitate deconstructive events while perusing the ideas of painting in Western art history. I have expressed myself conceptually through gouged plywood painting, encaustic painting, kinetic painting, glitter painting, nano painting and pure substrateless painting in a style I think of as reductive but thoughtful.
