My recent work is an attempt to restructure painting as a single
event. The method involves the fluid application of paint, free
from edits, the work making an objective record of its own
creation. In removing and concealing my interventions on the
canvas, I elevate the agency of the material. Painting is no longer
an individual effort, but a contest between my innate desire for
beauty matched against paint’s unwaveringly chemical nature.
Each painting functions as experimental evidence of beauty
without preordained form.
