I
study the outside world as it shifts forms and changes shapes. I
am conscious that there are things I see that I want to remember
and the camera hasn't captured it for me in that way. I
look for a flash of memory in my brain, a moment of insight, keeping
in mind the idea behind the feeling I felt. I
start with the structure of the painting. I find it
appealing to let the bones show through in a way that gives the
viewer a clue to the process that's taking place. I pull color from
the depths of my passion, building up a web of associations and
meanings. When painting, I never finish what I set out to do;
something else happens and I like that adventure.
As
time has passed, I've become more interested in defining for my
self what I want from observation, with a loose though
accurate touch. My conscious force and interest in non-centrality, in
co-existence of elements of non-belonging, that holds
the painting together with tension. I want each part of the
painting to be important, creating a non-linear diversity; I don't
want a logical reading in my painting. I want a possibility of the
unpredictable. I would like people to experience a sense of
stimulation and confrontation, to feel full of life, as they make
their own meaning and interpretation of the painting.
