Cannibal of my own best intentions
– This work I do is a compulsion. The Paintings are a process that uses chance, intuition, trial and error within some kind of varying selection process. I let the paintings evolve by making decisions about what to do next. This evolution is internally motivated, self reflective, and driven by a process that seeks change and completion. I produce paintings in what seems like a cycle that's roughly seasonal. Since I don't referee the process from some ultimate endpoint (that is I have no known goal) and the imagery unfolds in an obscured and hidden way I only get to anticipate what the painting will look like when it is finished. I reuse (cut up and recycle) my previous work in the creation of new work and that has made me a cannibal of my own best intentions. It's also let me have the addictive effect of being a fresh spectator of my own work since each painting carries a bit of the past with it.
