I need to feel my options are open. My work is about the process, the push to lose conventionality. I refrain from considering any piece precious; they can all be wiped away, drawn over, made better by way of finding something new to add or take away. Work brings a new view of the world. Highway overpasses become dry brush strokes, liquid washes form dripping lowlights on a figure, and a shadow becomes a collage piece between a horse and his barn. The story of a place or figure hides behind its face value; it is here that we can find beauty, be it profound or simple.
