ABSTRACTION : Painting and Works on Paper
I have been making these soft, pillowy pours for about eighteen years. The process continues to delight and scare me, which is why I keep making them!
These paintings are upholstered, like one might upholster a chair. The base is wood and foam, with batting, found cotton fabrics, and acrylic poured as the final layer. On a rare occasion, the first pour produces a perfect final work in one go. Usually, however, things go sideways and I’m faced with a complete unanticipated mess with little control over the result. That’s both the scary part, and the part that delights me.
In general with this series I avoid visible hand marks, so the material can speak directly for itself. Gravity, chemical reaction, and factors like humidity and temperature have a big influence on the final texture and composition of each painting.
Shipping is included in the price of each work, but sales tax will be added.
