Artist Statement
My painting explores the possibilities of physically representing emotional experience. In doing so I disregard the flat plain and engage in a number of aggressive actions against the basic fiber of painting. I cut and rip apart canvases. I attack the surface with paint, with scissors, and with thread.
Repetitive actions play an important role in my process. 10,000 staples hold torn paper. 7,000 pieces of canvas cut to the same shape form a surface. Millions of machine stitches hold the canvas together. These actions are part of the labor critical to my art making. Like a mantra or a rote prayer this activity builds the intensity of the experience for both the creator and viewer.
