Best Laid Plans 7 Painting

The “Best Laid Plans” series was inspired by architectural plans from our home and garden. They brought to mind that all man-made plans are built on fragile surfaces, often go astray or awry. They take unexpected turns and seem to acquire a mind of their own. They lead us into unexplored territory paralleling the art process itself. In this series there is an intentional refusal to articulate any particular space or direction in order to underscore the unpredictability of human plans. It is my goal to affect the viewer by conveying a sense of this without spelling it out. Art is, after all, a personal experience, so the viewer is free to find his own meaning in each piece. In this piece I explore painting on a highly textured background, overlapping and pouring paint, and combining graphic and soft edges. The accidental merges with the planned out. There are painted collage papers of different textures camouflaged throughout to add little surprises along the way.
