About the Paintings:

I think it helps to look at this work as 2-dimensional sculptures, because that is the primary way they are created. I use pieces of acrylic paint (I paint them first), cut them into shapes and place them in a final location with relationship to other parts/pieces of paint, on a large piece of glass. Much like sculptural ideas, I use addition and subtraction of the image parts to build the artwork. These pieces are actually 3d (they are so thin, 2mm or less, as to be practically 2D), There is virtually no texture on the surface of the finished sculpture. Canvas is attached last and then the dried image and canvas is removed to reveal the final image/sculpture.
The paintingsculptures completed over the last few years have been created with the optional use of random number generators to provide locations, shapes, sizes for the black and white paint. It doesn’t have to make sense. I’m happy to call them paint by numbers.
The paintings are about nothing, really, nothing, it's just paint, but it is the organization of my time using paint and that is something.
