Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
My aim is to use paint to investigate feelings and the sensations of present moments. Painterly touch fluctuates from piece to piece, color decisions are affected by subject and ideas at hand. Humour, wit, energy, mystery, voyeurism; these are some of the notions that I operated with which affect composition, scale, and subject. This searching for a depiction that is not premeditated to echo the changing moods and scenarios individuals find ourselves in. Committed to image making, though I am never far from the comical realization the act of painting is playing with colored dirt.
