My painting is motivated by the search for balance in chaos. Attempting
to reorganize shapes, structures, and hues harmoniously, I try to balance
between the past and the here-and-now. I work in layers, shifting from exposure
of previous surfaces, as in an archeological excavation, to building an
evidence file, bringing the findings together to form a complete picture.
The relatively short time it
takes for acrylic paints to dry enables me to work in layers and move from one
layer to another quickly. I enjoy the fact that the stain remains on the wall.
A significant part of the process involves deciding how much to cover and how
much to leave intact, blur, shift between the current state and the stain that
preceded or the one to follow.
